About this beer
This is the 61st of 88 labels we have from Hop Butcher For The World. It is one of 182 double / imperial ipa labels approved in August 2026. It was submitted and approved the same day. The label names 5 hops — Citra, Vic Secret, NZ Cascade, Citra Hyperboost and NZ Cascade Subzero.
A cartoon detective figure in a brown overcoat and fedora hat dominates the right side of the label, holding a magnifying glass and displaying a comical expression with a green hop-cone head. The character is rendered in pen-and-ink with crosshatching and loose linework against a solid orange field. A stylized hop illustration with tasting-note callouts appears on the lower left in simpler line work. The beer name "Trade Paperback Vol. 1" is hand-lettered in a casual brush script in the upper right, with regulatory text and brewery information completing the lower sections.
Brew it
The label names its hops (Citra, Vic Secret, NZ Cascade…), which is enough for a real starting point.
