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.

Gotta say this is pretty forgetable. Pours clear honey color with a retained egg white head. Flavor is sweet with clear fruit juice. Drinkable, but in no way significant.

Tallahassee, Fl. - Market Square Liquors, 22 oz bomber. One of those beers I always thought I had rated - had it plenty of times on tap - only bought it because of the price ($2.49 - glad I did!). Dark golden pour, sticky, thick white head.Fruity aroma -hard to describe - some peaches, yeast, a hint of spice. Flavor has some buttery notes, a hint of spice, faint citrus notes. Mouthfeel has a pleasant spritziness to it. Remionds me somewhat of a Saison.

Bomber @ Total Wine. They had signs on the front doors announcing it’s arrival. How dare they excite me like that. Found it, and the price was $2.99. Hmm, looked again.....2.99...this can’t be good. Pours golden-orange. Nose is sweet and there are some fruits present. Peaches, pears, orange, and apricot. Slightly malty as well. Taste is a slightly malty, faintly bitter and rather sweet, with apricot, orange, and that peach juice left at the bottom of a tin of peaches. Clean all around, but does not fit well with this season. Bad marketing? Overall it is OK but seriously reflects it’s low price. Balance it up a bit lads, this beer is not a fruit beer.

A deep golden pour with a small white head. The aroma is sweet peaches with some hops and hint of caramel malt. The taste begins sweet and fruity, then finishes on a slightly sour note.

Bottled. Very sweet with a burst of peach and apricot flavoring. Light on the palate and very smooth going down. Great for the late spring and early summer.

12 oz bottle. Clear golden yellow with a foamy white head. Aroma of peach, with trace amount of caramel malt and hops. Sweet peach flavor with very light hop bitterness. Light crisp and clean but a bit to sweet for me. The peach flavor is a bit artificial tasting too.

Draft sample at Stub & Herbs. Dark gold in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas of candied apricot, lychee, and caramel. More of an apricot and peach combo in the mouth along with pale malts and a bit of toast. Somewhat sweet finishing. Not bad overall, but not something I’d be in a hurry to drink more of.
