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

The artwork

A wooden puppet cross with suspended marionette controls dominates the centre of a pale turquoise field, rendered in charcoal tones with distressed texture and scattered abstract marks suggesting movement or decay. The beer name appears in bold, irregular hand-lettered type across the middle, with "West Coast Style" and "India Pale Ale" set below in a smaller sans serif. The design is framed by a rounded rectangular border with gold corner flourishes and a repeating "keep cold, enjoy fresh" tagline in gold capitals along the top and bottom edges against the black outer frame.
