The artwork

The label is dominated by a large serif letterform "D" and the brewery name "DOVETAIL" in outlined capitals, rendered in gold against black, occupying the upper left quadrant. Below this, a teal band spans the width and contains "LICHTENHAINER STYLE ALE" in gold sans-serif caps, with descriptive copy and brewing information positioned to the right on the black field. The palette shifts between the black upper section, teal band, and cream copy text.

From the label

A historic smoked sour wheat-and-barley beer from Central Germany. Lichtenhainer sits at the crossroads of Berliner Weisse and Rauchbier—bright, gently tart, and delicately smoky.
