About this beer
This is the 64th of 78 labels we have from Matchless. It is one of 85 american pale ale labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 24 days after it was submitted. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A full-bleed illustration of stylized red roses with green leaves and scattered gold stars dominates the front label against a textured black background. The beer name, "Garden Party," is set in bold, horizontally-striped sans-serif lettering in red and cream, positioned vertically along the left edge. The composition uses a bold graphic style with thick outlines and high contrast between the coral-red petals, forest-green foliage, and deep black field, creating a vintage-poster sensibility. The label appears to have a subtle matte finish with a finely-textured surface.
