About this beer
This is the 20th of 139 labels we have from Great Notion Brewing & Barrel House. It is one of 3 fruited sour labels approved in August 2021. Its label was approved 5 days after it was submitted. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A full-bleed desert scene rendered in woodcut style depicts an anthropomorphic pink ostrich operating a slot machine amid saguaro cacti, tumbleweeds, and scattered desert flora under a streaked sunset sky with bats in flight. A weathered wooden crate and various desert plants surround the central figures. The illustration employs bold black outlines with multicolour fills—cream, tan, green, pink, orange, and purple—against a deep black border frame containing the beer name and brewery mark in script and sans-serif lettering.
