The artwork

Two hammerhead sharks rendered in dark brown tones swim through a gradient ocean backdrop of teal to pale green, with scattered white bubbles suggesting depth. The larger shark occupies the upper-center field while a smaller specimen angles upward from the lower left; both are depicted in a stylized but naturalistic illustration style. The beer name runs diagonally across a black band in bold condensed sans-serif caps, with the style designation "DOUBLE IPA" aligned beneath. The Foundation Brewing Company logo and text occupy the upper right, while regulatory information and a state outline fill the lower right margin.
