    Why are these labels different? Different vintages maybe?

    I'm pretty sure the bottle on the right has the new label from this years release.

    I wish they dated the bottles.

    left = 2012
    right = 2013

    edit: or older, looks like the one on the left, that label was used for at least a few years.

    I have a bottle that looks like the one on the left and is from 2011. IIRC, the bottling year is on the label, no?

    I didn't see a date, is a date on yours?

    The bottle cap should be a give away. Caps with green coloring were new in 2013. 2012 and earlier did not have green accents in the logo found on the cap.

    Can someone else confirm this? I'm certain the green accents are new, but don't know if any other 2012 bottles have the green caps.

    Look at the ABV on the label too. Dark Horse has been said to modify this beer for distro in states with an ABV cap.

    The caps on the white label are solid black

    yeah, pretty sure the 2013 added the green accents. I thought also that 2013 was the first year with the ABV actually on the label (could be wrong there). Also, the 2013 label has the "stallion medallion" logo at top center while older years do not (which you can see in the OP).

    The one on the left is from 2011 or earlier.. the one on the right is from 2012 or 2013..
