The artwork

A stylised whale in bright green occupies the centre-right and lower portion of the label, rendered in a geometric, mid-century modern idiom against a brown and green patchwork background. The composition incorporates a shield-shaped brewery emblem in the centre, maritime and architectural motifs including a lighthouse and dock structures rendered in tan and cream, and scattered geometric ornaments—diamonds, circles, and stars—across a split-field layout of brown upper and green lower zones. The brewery name, beer name, and alcohol content are set in a sans-serif caps, with the dominant title in a large, blocky typeface.
