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

The artwork

A geometric Y-shaped device rendered in pencil shading occupies the right half of the label, centered within a circular border and surrounded by concentric rings suggesting depth. The form is mechanical and angular, executed in graphite with careful cross-hatching and tonal gradation. The left side carries the Hop Butcher brewery logo, tasting notes keyed to a hop cone illustration, and regulatory text in a tight sans serif, while the right side features the beer name 'Municipal Device' in hand-lettered caps above the central image and the full product description below.

The label names its hops — Citra, Citra Cryo, Mosaic… — which is enough for a real starting point.
