An orange five-pointed star dominates the upper centre of the label, flanked by wheat sheaves and hop bines rendered in fine engraved detail. Below sits the brewery name in heavy sans-serif capitals, with a horizontal band of gradient from cream to dark charcoal behind the type. The composition uses a symmetrical heraldic arrangement typical of 19th-century brewery emblems, establishing a centred emblem above the primary typography.
From the label“A perfectly balanced blend of roasted dark malts with refined hop bitterness. This is one bold lager with an uncommonly smooth finish.”
