Over the last few years a new brewery here in Charlotte
North Carolina has opened and begun canning it’s beer. The Unknown Brewing Co.
with its bright neon green color is growing quickly. I’ve only had one of their
beers so far. That beer is Over The Edge
American IPA, 6.9% ABV, which has their signature neon green on the flat gray,
can. Over The Edge pour a red like copper color with a three finger white head
that leave nice lacing behind but doesn’t stay long. I found not much light coming
through the beer, but I did see some carbonation bubbles. The aroma is straight
up American IPA with dank resin note and an earthy piney aroma. The smell of
this beer really hits your noise. Now the taste is just as the aroma would lead
you to believe. Upfront there is plenty of nice earthy bitterness and piney
flavors. The in the middle you get more hoppy that stick a little and a smooth
bitter flavor in the end with just a little bit of a faint alcohol taste. The
mouth feel is a little fuller and Over The Edge has a nice smooth bitter
finish. The after taste is nicely hopped with some earthy flavors that linger until
the next sip. Overall not a bad IPA so I’d say Over The Edge is an A-. I think
that this beer was just a hair to bitter and not close enough to being
sessionable but still is a great IPA. The smooth finish is a good thing for this
IPA. I like that about it. I would recommend that you try The Unknown Brewing
Co. Over The Edge American IPA. Cheers! Please enjoy responsibly!
