A heraldic composition centred on a crowned shield bearing the letters ESB in blue and gold, flanked by two red rampant lions and a penguin in formal dress below. The cream-coloured central panel is framed by a deep teal field that extends to the edges, with the beer name "Bitter Bird" and style "Extra Special Bitter" set in sans-serif capitals beneath the emblem. Brewing details and regulatory information occupy the teal margins on left and right.
