Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data

The artwork

A stylized lighthouse with black and white striped tower and bright cyan lantern room stands centered against a bright green background filled with an isometric repeating pattern of white and gray cubic buildings. The composition splits vertically: the left half showcases the lighthouse and cityscape pattern in geometric vector style, while the right half is divided into alternating cyan and black horizontal bands containing white sans-serif typography. The beer name "Participation Trophy" appears in large cyan capital letters below the lighthouse on the black ground, with "NEIPA" in smaller white caps beneath.
