The artwork

A white goat stands amid red flames and stylized blue waves in a Japanese ukiyo-e style composition, centred on the front label against a pale blue ground. Above the animal sits a large golden star flanked by hop bundles and a banner reading "SINCE 1876". The palette combines cream, red, blue, and gold in a full-bleed illustration with fine linework throughout. The label declares this a "Lunar New Year Limited Edition Artwork by Horiyo" in the upper right.
