Where this comes from
Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data
A black-and-white photograph of a wrecked 1970s sedan dominates the upper half of the label, its hood crumpled and windows shattered, with red spray-paint graffiti reading "I AM REINCARNATED" overlaid across the vehicle. The beer name "Been A Dog" appears in blackletter gothic type above the car, while the style and ABV specification sit below in heavy sans-serif capitals. The background is a speckled grey-white textured field suggesting concrete or distressed paper, with regulatory and hop-variety information housed in vertical black-and-white bars along the left and right edges.

The label names its hops — Citra, Strata, Manilita — which is enough for a real starting point.
