Nashorn by Rivington Brewing Co is a refined Munich Helles that emphasizes a clean, grainy-sweet malt backbone. Despite its sessionable ABV, it maintains a smooth, rounded character typical of the style. The traditional use of Perle and Mittelfrüh hops introduces a delicate layer of floral and herbal notes, providing a gentle balance to the soft maltiness. The fermentation is impeccably clean, allowing the high-quality base malts to shine through without distraction. It finishes softly and dryly, inviting another sip with its restrained bitterness and elegant, well-lagered profile that captures the classic Bavarian spirit.
