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 ounce can from Whole Foods Tunnel Road Asheville. Appears to be dated March 2014 though I bought it two days ago. Pours a hazy copper with a large frothy off-white head. Good head retention. Aroma of earthy, piney hops. The taste is bitter earthy, resiny hops, caramel malt. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness. Solid.

Location: Drafts at BBQ place in Charlotte, 11/24/14
Aroma: Fairly hoppy aroma, some citrus/tropical notes, grassy hops, and a little toffee/caramel
Appearance: The color is orange-amber, with a decent sized off-white head and decent lacing
Flavor: Tastes clean and fairly hoppy, nicely bitter, with a good amount of balancing sweetness
Palate: The body is medium, a smooth, clean feel, average carbonation, and a fairly dry finish
Overall Impression: I thought this was a solid, drinkable IPA. One of those beers with the clean hops that make it go down easy, maybe even dangerously so. Paired well with the BBQ. I'd drink this again.

Draft at Release the Funk. Deep reddish brown color, small tan head. Aroma is herbal and fruity. Taste is rooty, if that’s a word (it is now), herbal, light fruit. Interesting.
