Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a chilled pint glass.

Rich orange amber glowing with vibrant reds and yellows. This beer was very translucent and on top sat about an inch of thick, creamy white foam. This foam left some really nice lace effects as I drank.

Generous portions of Cascade and Chinook Hops are added throughout the brew process to create Rubicon’s Flagship Ale, golden in color with an assertive hop bitterness. A true American Classic!
Appearance: Golden orange. Thin head with swirls looking from the top down. Light can get through, but can definitely not see through it.
