About this beer
This is the 19th of 22 labels we have from Carton Brewing. It is one of 85 american pale ale labels approved in July 2026. It was submitted and approved the same day. The label names 7 hops — Centennial, Citra, Cascade, Chinook, Nugget, Galaxy and Amarillo, and carries session on the front.
A split-field composition divides the label horizontally into white upper and burnt-orange lower sections, with a bold yellow box containing the beer name dominating the upper third. The upper half features pen-and-ink line illustrations of a coastal landscape—a lighthouse, sailing boat, clouds, and ship's wheel—rendered in monochrome against the white ground. The lower section shows a stylized brick-pattern texture in burnt orange, interrupted by a framed badge shape containing the brewery logo. A detailed sailing vessel rendered in pen-and-ink sits beached on orange terrain in the upper-right corner.
Brew it
The label names its hops (Centennial, Citra, Cascade…), which is enough for a real starting point.
