About this beer
This is the 65th of 67 labels we have from Goose Island Beer Co. It is one of 182 double / imperial ipa labels approved in August 2026. It was submitted and approved the same day. The label carries imperial, fruited on the front.
A stylized monster face dominates the lower half of the label in navy blue with white highlights, surrounded by radiating lightning bolts in yellow and white. Above it, "CITRUS BEER HUG BLAST" appears in bold navy caps with a bright pink speech-bubble treatment, flanked by explosive star bursts. The background transitions from deep navy at the top through orange to bright yellow at the bottom, creating a gradient sky effect. Typography is condensed, comic-book inspired sans-serif throughout.
