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

The artwork

A hand holding a stemmed glass of golden beer occupies the centre of the label, flanked by two cream-coloured feathers rendered in a soft, painterly style. The beer name SHIBUI appears above in large sans-serif caps, with Japanese characters and the style designation "KÖLSCH-STYLE ALE" below. The field is a warm taupe with a cream diamond emblem at top and a circular brewery seal lower right; the palette is restrained — cream, gold, and taupe — with regulatory text and barcode confined to the right edge.

From the label

“Shibui is a Japanese word that expresses subtle, understated, and profound beauty. It is said to show off. Our Kölsch follows the tradition of Cologne, Germany, combining elegance, refinement, and simplicity with Japanese aesthetics and elegance. The result is a crisp, dry, and elegant beer with a hint of fruit and a clean finish. Simplicity, nothing more. nothing less.”
