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

The artwork

A stylized goat's head occupies a large circular badge at the top center, rendered in cream against teal, with the brewery name arcing around it. Below, a silhouetted mountain landscape with grazing animals and a lighthouse spans the width of the label, rendered in dark forest green and cream with the beer name in flowing script overlaid across a white banner. The overall field is split horizontally between teal (upper) and forest green (lower), with a textured, slightly weathered finish suggesting aged print or deliberate distressing.

From the label

“9 Squares is a cold IPA that uses a blend of malted barley and flaked maize, which creates a restrained malt backbone to let the hops shine through in their purest form. 9 Squares uses Citra and Riwaka hops to impart a bright citrus, stone fruit, and tropical profile that gives this beer a familiar yet enticing hop flavor.”
