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

The artwork

The front label features the beer name 'SHINE A LIGHT' in large white block lettering with black outline, centered over a stylized yellow bird in profile. The background is filled with a regular vertical striped pattern in lime and sage green. A horizontal magenta band runs across the top with company history text, and the bottom edge carries the beer descriptor 'SOUR-ALE WITH WATERMELON' in script type against the striped field.
