 Shot with a Novatron kit. Snoot from behind to light the beer, main light bounce of ceiling, extra light from Canon speedlight on limes.

Nice composition & colors, a bit too much sharpening I guess, highlights are a bit harsh.

Nice tag line and lighting. Comp works well to allow room for text. Nice presentation of product. I'd have used a different color background but thats just my opinion.
