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.

Golden peach pour with an apricot nose. Flavor shows significant fruitiness which I actually enjoyed. Unique.

chicagobears (376) - Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA - MAR 19, 2010
Orangish yellow pour into flute. Strong aroma of fresh apricots to my surprise. Tastes of it as well. Pretty smooth and mellow. Has a good underlining malt profile. I was expecting something of a pale ale but ended up with a straight forward fruit beer. The palate is slightly tart. Fortunately I like the flavor and you will to if you like apricots.

BarZigKin (510) - San Antonio, Texas, USA - MAR 15, 2010
On tap at the Saucer in San Antonio. Pours a hazy golden body with a ring of ivory head. Nose is diacetyl, lemon, some apple and super sweet. Flavor is apricots, light sweetness and metal. Lively carbonation and medium mouthfeel. Not a good effort. Nose kills it.

chickenflea (227) - Oviedo, Florida, USA - MAR 14, 2010
22-oz bottle. Pours a dark golden color. Lightly hazy. Thin white head with minimal lacing. Wonderful aroma: peach, coriander and a very light butterscotch. Lightly malted. Thin in texture. Crisp and tart. Spicy aftertaste. Very drinkable.

bpreo (917) - Eugene, Oregon, USA - MAR 6, 2010
UPDATED: SEP 10, 2010 Slightly fruity, but it holds up well. Fun and groovy, a lot like the logo and packaging.

williamstome (411) - Somerville, Massachusetts, USA - FEB 26, 2010
Appearance: Translucent gold with minimal head. Not much aroma, a bit of hops? weak apricot flavor, with a bitter finish. Not great, but not terrible.
