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

The artwork

A black-and-white photograph of a woman in profile, hands raised toward a mirror or reflective surface, occupies the centre of the label against a brick background. The beer name appears in large yellow sans-serif capitals below the figure, with a magnifying glass circling the word "Exhibit A" above. The right edge shows a wood-grain texture band with a red circular brewery seal stamp; the left edge is a solid black panel with yellow marketing text and regulatory information. Yellow type runs vertically down the spine announcing the series name.

The Author's Note Hostile Witness is a soft-bodied Double New England IPA showcasing a powerful cast of Citra, Simcoe, and Centennial hops. Expect a complex, juicy profile brimming with big citrus and tropical fruit notes, and a subtle, resinous backbone. Follow our story across the bestselling Exhibit 'A' series. Visit us in Williamsburg, MA for more proof of great brewing. Each case of this beer supports 30 square feet of local farmland. "Big flavor. A gripping addition to the series."”
