COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A Beer Cloaked in Secrecy An ale whose mysterious and unusual palate will swirl across your tongue and ask more questions than it answers. A beer brewed clandestinely and given a name whose meaning is never revealed. Why #9? Why, indeed. A sort of dry, crisp, fruity, refreshing, not-quite pale ale. #9 is really impossible to describe because there’s never been anything else quite like it. Fermented with our 150 year old strain of top-fermenting English yeast.

Has the hoppiness of a pale ale mixed with the edge of a fruit beer. Good in body, a very good fruit beer.

bkurtz (461) - PERU - JUL 6, 2011
Poured a deep, clear yellow with a decent head. Fruity/citris nose with a thin taste. Not too much fruit, but not so refreshing. Average at best.

pinkzambia (1155) - Boise, Idaho, USA - JUL 3, 2011
Tap: Clear gold with a white head. Sweet and pleasant aromas. The flavor is cardboard and red apples followed by a thin body and aftertaste. Yuck.

bb (4577) - Alamo, California, USA - JUN 30, 2011
Bottle. Amber beer with a cream colored head. Grain and light earth aroma. Light citrus and light grain flavor. Medium bodied. Citrus and light pine lingers with light grain.

dionysus (1257) - Arizona, USA - JUN 24, 2011
Bottle pours deep gold with a white head. Aroma shows notes of apricot, tangerine, hay, light caramel, and some underlying florals. Flavor shows the same with a certain "fruity pebble" quality from time to time. It’s definately a fruity beer with a relatively significant malt profile to keep it from getting to be too much. Interesting.

Ndean (5) - Arlington, Virginia, USA - JUN 24, 2011 does not count
not a great beer by any stretch, come on now it is a note quite pale ale with apricot? It is not my cup of time, but I could see some "alternative" beer drinkers be into this type of thing

TommyTilt (59) - Maryland, USA - JUN 18, 2011
12oz bottle out of a variety case. Poured a golden yellow with an off white fizzy head. Aroma was fruity, like a mixed bag of grandpas dried fruit. Tasted sweet/sour with apricot notes. Thought it would have been light bodied but its heavier. Pretty nice beer, have had it plenty of times.

Jow (778) - New York, USA - JUN 13, 2011
On tap at brewery. citrusy nose with quick fading white head. Tastes plenty of appricots, with also some brown sugar, and bread. light hopping and high carbonation. I have had before in bottles and thought too much but as sample just right amount of this beer
