About this beer
This is the 18th of 26 labels we have from Melvin Brewing. It is one of 42 spiced / pumpkin / honey labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 32 days after it was submitted.
A knit sweater fills a circular central vignette, rendered in cream, red, and teal with a Fair Isle pattern and a visible brass zipper, surrounded by a field of hanging ornaments and radiating stars in teal, gold, and red. The beer name appears in a thick white sans-serif band across the sweater's chest. The background is a sage green scattered with stars of varying sizes in cream, gold, and red, with hanging diamond and spherical Christmas ornaments suspended from thin lines throughout. The Prosperity Brewers collaboration mark sits at the top centre with a palm tree icon and gold lettering, while tasting notes and brewery information occupy the lower and side margins.
From the label“This is the perfect seasonal ale with hints of cinnamon, vanilla and allspice. (But that's just like, our opinion, man.) Ale brewed with honey, cinnamon and ginger”
