Can (7/1/20) pour from Ernie Adamo. Appearance is opaque, milky dark yellow with light lazy sparkle at the edges of the glass, thin cap of white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is really strong combination of tangerine/orange citrus and herbs. Taste is dominant musky herb with milder fruit contribution and bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation with late lively kick that stings the tip of the tongue and lightly fruity/herbal but mostly bitter finish. Overall, absolutely LOVED the aroma and wish the taste had mirrored it. Will look forward to trying other Riwakas. Still good but excessive carbonation detracted a bit.
