About this beer
This is the 6th of 7 labels we have from Urban Roots Brewing. It is one of 30 amber / red ale labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The label names one hop, Pacific Northwest hops. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A dark starfield background in black fills the label, with a large rounded-square badge bearing "URBAN ROOTS" in dark grey sans-serif centered in the upper half. Below it, the beer name "RED BLADE" appears in massive red capital letters with a horizontal white stripe cutting through the middle, creating a split-field composition. The style name "AMERICAN-STYLE RED ALE" is set in smaller red type beneath, with volume and ABV details in red and grey. The brewery name repeats in red along the top edge and runs vertically in black sans-serif on the right margin.
From the label“A harmonious blend of Simpsons® Crystal malts with Pacific Northwest hops, resulting in a malt forward, hoppy red ale.”

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