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

The artwork

A galloping horse with flowing golden mane and feathered wings appears in profile at the upper center, rendered in yellow, black, and red ink against a cream ground. The beast's body is covered in black scales with red detailing, and it leaps across the label beneath an arc of orange text reading "KIRIN PREMIUM LAGER". Below sits a bold orange banner containing the brewery name in white sans-serif capitals, with Japanese characters centered underneath. The composition is symmetrical and frontal, anchored by the winged horse emblem.
