Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data

The artwork

A pen-and-ink illustration of a weeping willow tree dominates the centre of the label, its drooping branches rendered in bold black linework against the cream field. Below the tree sits a solitary figure at a desk or writing table, continuing the willow motif as the brewery's namesake visual identity. The composition is vertically centred with the beer name and style information set in serif type below the illustration, while the brewery name and decorative willow logo appear at the top in a condensed serif font.
