A comic-style character in a yellow jacket, red tie, and glasses stands at the centre of the label with hands on hips, rendered without lower garments, against a radiating sunburst field of light and darker blue stripes. The beer name appears in bold red caps with yellow shadow lettering below the figure. A lit match illustration appears in the upper right corner, and a bronze medal emblem for a 2020 beer festival sits to the lower left of the character. The brewery name is set in white block caps with graphic ray lines above and below it at the top of the label.

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