The front panel is split vertically between a dark industrial-textured background on the left, featuring the Amherst Brewing circular hop-leaf emblem in neon yellow and black with horizontal stripes, and a bright lime-green section on the right showing a vintage aviator portrait—a woman with goggles pushed up on her forehead, rendered in muted green tones. The beer name "JESS" is set in large white sans-serif capitals across the left side, with "IPA" in matching yellow on the right; descriptive brewing notes appear in small white type on the left panel. The back panel on the right shows the same aviator portrait enlarged, with a QR code, regulatory text, and production details on a white ground.

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