About this beer

This is the 5th of 17 labels we have from Buck Bald Brewing. It is one of 15 wild / brett / lambic-style labels approved in June 2026. Its label was approved 8 days after it was submitted. The label carries barrel-aged on the front.

The artwork

A flowing plume of smoke in gradient hues—yellow at top, orange and red in the middle, trailing to wisps—curves upward across the right side of the label against a light blue field. The beer name appears in purple condensed caps across the upper center, with descriptive text and production notes below. The Buck Bald Brewing logo, a circular emblem with a bulldog in yellow and dark tones, sits in the lower right. A green band runs across the top and bottom edges; white regulatory panels occupy the left and right margins.
