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.

Fuity beers are not always my thing but No.9 is really good it just has a subtle fruit flavor under what is otherwise a english style mild ale. It has a good color and hop complexity and pours a nice amber hue I wish we could it more easily here in the west but I always have a few when I go visit the fam in NY.

Copper color with very little head. Aroma was sweet and hard to place. In the end I decided on apricots, which I thought was a pretty original choice. Incredibly tasty in the mouth, a real lip-smacker, washing down easily and refreshingly. This is definitely not your ordinary pale ale, and would make a super-wicked-awesome session beer. The only thing keeping it out of the 4 range is that it is a little bit simple. Enjoy in abundance. Cheers.

Orange copper in appearance with a thin head. Musty yeasty aroma. Clean tasting with a slight tang to it. Really not much to say... its an easy drinking beer with not much else going for it.

Nice apricot flavor to start, finishes a tad bitter. Interesting, just not my taste.

Bottle. Poured a clear orange/amber with a small head and no lacing, some carbonation streaming from bottom of glass. Aroma is of light fruit and malt. Flavor is more malt and some fruit. Mouth is medium bodied, with some carbonation. Finish is lightly bitter.

A nice apricot nose. The taste was apricot but finished with an unpleasant metallic feel. Overall, an average beer.

Bottle. After having a sixer of Circus Boy, I wanted to believe that Magic Hat has better brews. I’m a believer. I really like this brew. Nice color, aroma and palate. It was a suprisingly good brew. Will probably buy it again.
