Materials

—
The label features a stylized illustration of the Pale Morning Dun (PMD) mayfly, rendered in its characteristic pale yellow and olive tones against the deep blues of the Owyhee River canyon. The background of the scene captures the actual rugged, arid landscape and rocky cliffs of the Owyhee River in eastern Oregon, where this specific hatch occurs. We’ve used a bright, natural colorway for the can to reflect the clarity of the river water and the delicate nature of the fly. This beer is light-bodied, highly sessionable, and perfectly suited for a day spent wading the river.
