As drinking habits shift toward lighter, more casual moments, a new generation is redefining what refreshment looks like.
The insight
For the launch of the most extra-refreshing beer in the world, we set out to create the most eye-refreshing visual identity ever developed for a mainstream global beer — deliberately disrupting category codes.
