This is the 20th of 28 filings we hold from Tired Hands Brewing Company. It is one of 157 ipa (other/unspecified) labels approved in July 2026. It cleared 1 day after it was filed.
A stylized dog head dominates the center, rendered in neon pink, purple, lime-green, and orange against a bright cyan background, with its mouth open and teeth bared in an exaggerated grin. The creature's layered, psychedelic form sits atop undulating waves of pink and black, dotted with lime-green speckles suggesting movement or energy. The beer name "CATTLE DOG SMILE" appears in spiky, rough-edged lettering above the dog, while the brewery's banner logo sits at the top center in yellow hand-lettered script.
From the label“Beer name 'Cattle Dog Smile' contains no explicit style designation. Label displays 'ALE' as regulatory class. No descriptive copy or brewing process language visible on front or back label to infer a specific IPA substyle. The vibrant, psychedelic artwork and high ABV (9.4%) suggest a strong ale, but without explicit style language or clear copy inference, this falls to the IPA family bucket (ipa_other) based on the ALE class code and the name's lack of clarity. Confidence capped at 0.55 due to reliance on name inference alone and absence of corroborating copy.”
From the brewery“TIPA hopped with Motueka and Nelson and then dry-hopped with Citra, NZ Cascade, Paridisi, and Moteuka.”
