DescriptionThese two labels are wrap around labels used on beer cans, and are shown laid out flat in a rectangular shape. The image on each label is exactly the same. The label is an earthy yellow color and includes a red cityscape of Albuquerque around the bottom. The sky is abstractly depicted with a few pale chartreuse green horizontal lines. On the front of the can and toward the bottom, six red hot air balloons of various sizes hover above the horizon. Above, there is circular stamp in a light charcoal ink that sits just above the name of the beer and just right of center. The stamp states that the beer can is in celebration of the city of Albuquerque's 315 birthday. There is also the name of the label "BearQueño" in pale yellow at the center of the label, as well as black text underneath that which repeats the birthday celebration and states that the beer is IPA. The left side of the label has a red stamp which states the brewing location and the brewery's name which is the "Boxing Bear Brewing Co". On the right side of the label there is a smaller label containing warnings and ingredients, as well as a red silhouette of the Sandia Peak Tram at the bottom next to the skyline.On View
