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.

Pours hazy golden orange with thin off white head. Nose is subtle apricot and not much else. The flavor is subtle bitterness and apricot mid, finishing with a pleasant nuttiness.

Has somewhat of a dish soap aroma. Nice appearance. Not a bad taste, rather interesting. If you are in to fruit beer this is pretty good , I guess.

Pours amber/orange. Fragrant floral boquet. Reminds me of a pale, but has some spice I can’t quite put my finger on, tumeric, tamarind maybe. Some citrus fruits. Pretty drinkable, hops stay with you a little bit at the finish. Is a nice alternative when your only choices are American macro brews.

I got this one at Ruby Tuesday’s of all places. Has a very distinct flavor of nectar and hops. Very crisp and refreshing.

I tried this beer not knowing what style it was. Definitely a fruit beer. Has aromas of apricot and mango but not overwhelming. Flavor is clean and dry. Refreshing.

orangey pour with a small-medium head. Aroma has some candied sugar, fruits and even malts in it, though subtle. Taste is also a mix. Not sure I would call this a fruit beer, but it has elements of that in it. Very drinkable.

This is an awesome brew. It is clean on the palate and has a very subtle hint of apricot. It is ultra smooth and is one of my favorite beers that is remotely east to find.

tap-hudson grill. pours a clear orange color under a medium sized white head. aroma of apricot and some toasty pale grainy malts. toasted, grainy flavor mixed well with the sweet apricot. a little juicy and syrupy on the palate but well carbonated. a very good fruit beer.
