Description
At The Unknown Brewing Company we are more than just a name. A name does not mean you make good beer, and good beer does not have to have a name.
Our job is to stand out. We are the open road with no destination. We are your first kiss or your last time jumping out of an airplane, or whatever your wildest adventure is. We are The Unknown.
So if you need us to have a name, make one up. If you make one up we prefer you call us something with adventure, or America, or dragons or something epic. That would be awesome. All we know is that we are good people whose mission is to make really great beer and have fun doing it. So our call to you... Step into the Unknown

12 oz. can. Pilsner glass No date coding found on the can. No response from email to Unknown Brewing regarding date codes. A: Not much head atop dark gold/light orange body. Hazy. Not much visible carbonation S: The slightest whiff of orange pith and flesh. Some toasted bread as well. Light smell overall, and more like a pale ale. T: Malty upfront with some sharp hop bitterness. Not altogether citrusy and certainly not piney. Again, not much like an IPA. Unremarkable. M: Light but not watery. More carbonation than is visible. O: OK session ale but I’ve had several lately that are much better IMO. Probably won’t buy this again.

The aroma has some spice and citrus. The flavor follows suit. Not a great one, but you could certainly do worse.

Sample in a flight at the Unknown Brewery. Dark, ruby brown, with a thin head and lots of lacing. Nose of brown bread, cinnamon, strong resin and syrup. Very sweet, with a touch of bitterness. Medium body, sticky, and a touch of graininess. This is a nice, grainy, interesting beer. Not too bad!
