For The Company
Bluejacket / Arsenal Restaurant

Light but full bodied clean, fairly crisp beer with a slightly fruity nose but a bready malt taste. There's a mineral side to the flavor by mid-taste, and a mostly grassy, slightly herbal end note. Carbonation has a slight bite, and its dry aspect accentuates the bitterness a tad. It fits with my likes pretty well - slightly sweet opening with a slightly bitter back; definitely much more nuanced than the IPAs that helped start my good beer journey, but it fits the pattern.

Couching my overall slightly as I recall thinking the beer a little heavier on the sweet side with my first can.

For the Company has a very thick, spongy, off-white head and a somewhat hazy, golden appearance, with bubbles and some lacing. The aroma is of rich pale malt. The flavor is of unsalted cracker and grassy hops. For the Company has a medium body and a crisp finish.

This is the first American—brewed Helles that I have tasted that has even come close to a German example. In fact this is one of the best I have ever had.

Enjoyed enjoyed the can at the Snarlygaster DC 2021 event. Tasty overall - even after I had enjoyed a Schlenkerla Helles! Poured into a tasting glass, it had a nice white head that lasted a bit. Scent seemed good. I will rate again when I find a can to pour and enjoy!

Around medium carbonation and body
Nice aroma of grass,grain,,malt
Taste follows the aroma,straightforward, clean,crisp, really refreshing
Could drink this all day,more than enough going on to keep my interest

 

 

 

 

This is a solid, no-frills Munich helles lager. No off-flavors whatsoever, just a clean biscuity aroma and flavor with slight grassiness from the hops. Oh, and thank you for not adding any American hops to this. It's a classic beer style and doesn't need any re-engineering.
