All individuals in the drawn color illustration are topless but have various color sheets covering their bottom half. At the bottom it states "Evohe! Anheuser Busch's Beer inspires me. I feel in my heart its sweet delirium. Evohe! Tony Faust Beer is King." On the back of the trade card, there is a black and white drawing of the company and shoreline on the right.
