A bright red field dominates the label, centred on a large white script logotype reading "Hardtail" with "Cream Ale" set in smaller caps below. A flaming motorcycle rendered in black ink sits in the lower right corner, with stylised flame details rising behind the main type. The Northzala Brewing circular emblem appears at top centre, and a large white numeral "7" anchors the right side; collaborative text and brewery information occupy the upper right. Regulatory and ABV details sit along the bottom and left edges.
