About this beer
This is the 2nd of 5 labels we have from Roak Brewing Co. It is one of 88 fruited sour labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 32 days after it was submitted. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A glossy candy apple with a wooden stick emerges from the center of the front label, rendered in illustration with bright red lacquer, caramel drip, and highlights suggesting dimensionality. The apple sits against a cream field with the beer name arched above in large sage-green capitals and descriptive type below in rust-brown. A smaller green apple with a bite removed appears on the left-side panel. The overall composition balances the central still-life with type distributed across left, center, and right edges.
From the label“Sweet upfront. Tart on the way out. Caramel apple meets kettle sour. Pleasant. Sweet. Sour.”
