The artwork

A circular emblem anchors the upper portion of the label, featuring two hands clasped around a hop cone rendered in pen-and-ink line work, ringed by "BERT'S BREWING" and "HIGHLANDER BEER" in serif capitals. The background is a vibrant coral-red field scattered with repeating stylized monogram marks — alternating "B" and "H" letterforms interspersed with small four-pointed stars — creating an all-over pattern. Below the emblem, a cream-coloured band contains the beer name "River Service" in large hand-lettered brush script, with "KÖLSCH STYLE ALE" and "BREWED FOR THE OUTDOORS" set in clean sans-serif type. The composition is split between the patterned upper section and the type-heavy informational lower half.

From the label

“Built for river days and long casts, this Kölsch-style ale is crisp, clean, and made to keep up. Light-bodied with a dry finish and a hint of tropical, citrusy New Zealand hops, it's as refreshing as a cold dip on a hot afternoon. Easy-drinking and endlessly sessionable—just how we like it out here.”
