The artwork

A winged mythological figure in profile, rendered in pen-and-ink linework with hand-applied watercolour washes, dominates the composition across the full front. The figure holds aloft a star-tipped torch against a gradient sky shifting from orange to deep red, with geometric linear elements suggesting radiating light or energy across a black field. The beer name curves along a blue-and-white ribbon banner across the lower third, while the brewery name sits centred at the top in bold sans-serif capitals. The entire illustration is contained within a frame of fine parallel lines and cosmic scatter.
