The mark consists of the words "brewing with the freedom we fought for" in maroon, all-capital text, with the words "with the" and "we" slightly smaller than the rest of the maroon text at the bottom. In a gold border directly above the maroon text at the bottom are the words "CITRA HOPPED INDIA PALE ALE" in a monospaced serif typeface. The phrase "PROUDLY SERVING ALES WELL DESERVING OF THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED AND THOSE STILL SERVING" is printed in the same monospace typeface (just a little smaller) down both sides of the gold border. The sentence starts at the bottom of the left side and at the top of the right side. Above the "citra." text is the text "SEMPER FI.P.A." in a large, gold sans-serif typeface on a maroon border. At the top of the maroon border are a star, the phrase "HIGH SPEED" in black, a dot, the phrase "HIGH QUALITY" in black, and a second star, from left to right. Inside the maroon border, there is a picture of a bearded man with glasses, a hard hat, and a brown leather shirt holding a gray mug with the YVBC logo on it. To the left of the man's face are the words "ALWAYS FAITHFUL- ALWAYS FLAVORFUL!" in a slightly slanted sans-serif typeface with a short black line dividing the first two words and the last two words. At the top of the beige area, "citra" is written in maroon all-caps text and "Fidelicious!" is written in a casual, script-like typeface across the width of the beige area. Above the "high speed, high quality" text is the text "ESTD 2012 · Virginia Beach, VA" in a monospaced typeface. Even higher up is the YVBC logo, which is a maroon oval with a beige outline and the letters "YVBC" in gold following the outline of the oval within the border. Just below the logo is the text "Young Veterans Brewing Co." in all caps, with the Y, V, B, and C at the start of each word slightly larger than all the other letters. To each side of the YVBC logo is a group of two thick black horizontal lines and one thin horizontal maroon line, a maroon star, and black and maroon vertical lines below the star. There are also maroon areas to the left and right of the YVBC logo. The shape containing the text "Young Veteran Brewing Co." is a rectangle with circular corners cut from the top and faint gray lines surrounding the text. The outer border is thin and gray.
