About this beer
This is the 8th of 13 labels we have from Masthead Brewing Co. It is one of 87 west coast ipa labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The label names 2 hops — Simcoe and Citra. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A large centred circular emblem dominates the label, enclosing a stylized hop cone and leaf in line art, surrounded by concentric rings in blue and white, with 'MASTHEAD CLEVELAND BREWING CO.' lettered around the ring. The background is solid black, with the beer name and specification set in a mix of sans-serif caps and script italic to the right; regulatory and brewery information occupy the left margin and lower right. The label is bounded by bright orange and magenta bands top and bottom.
From the label“While this experimental West Coast IPA might not send you into different dimensions, the hop character will certainly transport your taste buds through time. Enjoy the latest iteration of The Cleveland Experiment- Volume 9- brewed with our hand selected Simcoe and Citra hops.”

The label names its hops (Simcoe, Citra), which is enough for a real starting point.
