The artwork

A portrait of a bearded man wearing oversized cyan sunglasses dominates the front, rendered in black and white line work with bright lime-green hop cones sprouting from the crown of his head. The beer name appears in cyan block capitals across the centre, split between "EMPEROR HAZE" and "HAZY INDIA PALE ALE" below. The composition is set against a dark grey background with the Shoehorn Brewing logo and location details positioned to the right.
