Comments/description: Best face on this scarce label displays great, with just a few small humidity marks. Engaging and somewhat humorous label with a cartoon-y hop mascot licking his lips over the tray of Happy Hops he is carrying. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Both faces exhibit a darkened opener scratch about an inch from the top and one side has some gear marks visible despite the can having been stretched in an attempt to hide them. Former location of the bottom rim can be seen at the bottom. Correct height. Very hard to find in this clean condition.
