The artwork

A retro-futuristic space-station scene dominates the label, split into upper and lower registers. The top half depicts a snowy night sky with a red rocket ship, falling gifts, and stars above an industrial complex with green trees and white clouds; the lower half shows the interior of a bustling space station with an astronaut in a red suit at the center, surrounded by tiny figures, machinery, escalators, and control panels rendered in warm earth tones. The composition is densely packed with detail across the full front in a mid-century-modern illustrative style, with the beer name set in a bold red banner across the center. The palette is dominated by forest green, slate blue, coral red, and tan, with white and gold accents throughout.
