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

The artwork

The label is dominated by the large word "FINBACK" in bright cyan sans-serif capitals across the top, with "MIDDLE SEAT" rendered vertically in the same typeface down the center. The design employs a minimal geometric composition with stacked text elements scattered across a dark brown background: "DOUBLE," "IPA," and product details in cyan capitals arranged across the field, creating a rhythmic typographic pattern. The colour palette is restricted to bright cyan type and descriptive text against the dark brown ground, with no illustration present.
