Richter City by Maiden Brewing Company is a captivating brown ale that takes you on a flavorful journey. This beer from New Zealand boasts a harmonious blend of toffee and biscuit notes, with a delightful twist of cranberries. The appearance is a vibrant golden amber, topped with a dense off-white head that lingers gracefully. The aroma is an explosion of citrus and tropical fruit, with grapefruit, orange zest, pineapple, and mango leading the way. Hints of dank pine and herbal spice add complexity to the bouquet. The taste delivers a cascade of hop flavors, dominated by citrusy and tropical fruit notes.

The piney and herbal character provides a subtle counterpoint, creating a well-rounded and satisfying sip. The mouthfeel is medium to full-bodied, with a smooth, creamy texture and lively carbonation that lifts the flavors on the palate. The finish is long and lingering, with a persistent bitterness that mingles with the citrus and tropical fruit flavors, leaving a refreshing and satisfying aftertaste.
