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

Fairly hazy light brown and exceptionally deep copper coloured body with a thick, four centimetre tall tan head that fades fast. Aroma of earth, malt, nuts, light tea and pungent grain along with some sugars and a touch of fruit. Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence; Strong tea and toasted malt flavours with some earth, grain and yeast throughout. Aftertaste shows some sweetness from light fruits, a bit of the unfinished sugars with caramel and pure caster sugar along with some earthy malt, a bit of the biscuits and some bright bready yeast near the finish. Overall, a decent beer with some moderate flavours of tea, grain, light earth and mellow fruits without much hoppiness at all, but showing something at least and definitely nothing bad or offensive. Probably not worth buying unless you are limited on beers and/or can't find anything else! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Grape Vine in Fort Mill, South Carolina on 21-August-2017 for US$2,13 after watching the Eclipse with my family, sampled at home in Washington on 10-December-2017.

Good idea for a brew, but the execution comes across rather restrained, the key lime and rum barrel serving as light accents to a mild, nondescript gose. Some straw and yeasty tartness, with lime and vanilla-rum notes adding modest depth to the bready finish. Not much salt in the fade. Not a great-looking pint, with a subtle vanilla-like nose and a somewhat slack texture. Amazing can, though.

Can from Harris Teeter, Hampstead, North Carolina. Hazed amber with a thin head. Strongish tasting pale ale, but isn’t overly strong. Has a slightly stewed fruitiness.

Can from Harris Teeter, Hampstead, North Carolina. Very dark with a very thin head. Fairly complex with a smoked nose, dark and roasted malts in taste, with its smokiness returning again in its aftertaste. It’s somewhat dry as well.

Aroma malt, eple, humle. Utseende klar lys gylden med hvitt skum som daler fort. Smak eple, malt, karamell, humle. En øl med bedre duft enn smak. Den starter litt forsiktig med litt frukt, og plutselig er det over. Ingen høydare
