The artwork

A stylized bird with dark plumage and pink breast sits perched against a large yellow sun with radiating orange rays, set against a bright blue sky. Surrounding the sun are green leafy branches rendered in a sketchy line style. The beer name "EARLY BIRD" is integrated into the composition in white letters across the upper portion of the sun, with brewing details and a small teacup illustration positioned in the lower right. The palette is dominated by bright primaries — blue, yellow, and pink — with accents of dark navy and green.

From the label

Label prints 'SOUR SESSION with EARL GREY TEA' and 'SOUR SESSION BEER brewed with EARL GREY TEA' — explicit sour session designation. No fruit added (Earl Grey tea is a spice/herb adjunct); kettle_sour is the best fit for an unfruited sour session beer. ABV 3.2% corroborates session modifier. TTB class 906 MALT BEVERAGES SPECIALITIES - FLAVORED noted but label presents clearly as a sour beer.
