From the label

“Cthulhu: a cosmic deity created by writer H.P. Lovecraft is rumored to be the High Priest of the "Great Old Ones," and used to rule the Earth before his malevolence have since fallen into a deep sleep resting somewhere off the coast of New Zealand waiting to be awakened, and is still worshipped by a cult of followers. Cthulhu's greatest power is the ability to make people lose their minds with more visual contact. The intense flavor and aroma emanating from the 100% New Zealand grown hops will surely invoke the myth of Cthulhu.”
