About this beer
This is the 7th of 18 labels we have from Phase Three Brewing Company. It is one of 85 american pale ale labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The label names 3 hops — Simcoe, Centenial and Citra, and carries west-coast on the front.
A stylized ocean wave scene dominates the front label, rendered as an arched opening framing a cresting wave in cream and pale yellow against a coral-pink sky dotted with white clouds. The wave emerges from teal water at the base, with a black outline defining the entire composition. The beer name appears below in a red script italic overlaid on blocky white sans-serif capitals, with the style designation in teal type at the bottom.

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