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

The artwork

A stylized dragon rendered in woodcut technique dominates the center of the label, depicted in navy blue with intricate linear patterning across its scaled body and flowing mane. The creature is shown in profile, leaping or flying across a white field, with detailed linework defining feathers, scales, and fur. The KIRIN wordmark appears in heavy sans-serif caps above the dragon, with LIGHT and product details set in smaller sans and slab-serif type below. The composition is balanced and symmetrical, anchoring the dragon as the central emblem against an otherwise type-driven layout.
