The artwork

A surreal landscape dominates the central vignette: a massive skull with spider legs emerges from misty grassland beneath jagged mountains, topped by a small domed structure with a smoking chimney. The entire scene is rendered in grayscale with dramatic tonal gradations, framed by an art-deco architectural border of columns, ornamental circles, and geometric flourishes. The beer name appears in bold geometric caps across the top of the frame, with style and ingredient information arrayed vertically down the left edge in smaller sans-serif type.

The label names its hops (Eggers Riwaka, NZ Cascade, Bold River…), which is enough for a real starting point.
