About this beer
This is the 10th of 30 labels we have from First State Brewing Company. It is one of 180 double / imperial ipa labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The label names 4 hops — Citra, Dynaboost Citra, Galaxy and Nelson Sauvín, and carries ddh, hazy on the front. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A psychedelic landscape of layered, undulating organic forms fills the front in cream, peach, purple, magenta, teal, and navy. The shapes suggest nebulae, clouds, or cellular matter, with bold black outlines separating each band of colour; floating spheres with swirling marbled patterns in magenta and teal sit against a starfield in the lower right. The beer name appears in white sans-serif capitals across the upper centre, with "DDH HAZY DIPA" below in a teal sans-serif, while "FIRST STATE STAT[E]" and the brewery mark occupy the lower portion in script and sans-serif. A black regulatory panel sits on the left side with white type.

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