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.

Bottle, I have been drinking this since highschool and thought I had rated this it’s one of the most commonly liked decent beers out there. I know people who hate beer and like this stuff, that being said the nose is very fruity but almost artificial like smelling a package of gummy bears. The taste is very fruity with some malt hidden in there. Some strawberry,pear, raspberry and almost a hint of apricot. Very good. Will continue to buy

Pale Ale meets Shorts Brewing Soft Parade? Ap - Poured a very clear golden amber. No head and little lacing. Ar- A complex fruit smell, nothing like I was expecting from a pale ale. F - Hops were very light and were largely hidden by the fruit. I thought I tasted raspberry in there but I did not see that on other reviews. Maybe a little strawberry also. Overall a decent, and surprising, taste. P / O - Although I liked this beer I could not drink that many. It would be something I may order again, especially outside on a hot day.

Appearance: Clear, yellow body with a small, fizzy, white head. Some splotchy lacing on the way down. Smell: Light pale malt scent with some citrus and yes, even some apricot. Taste: More of that light pale maltiness, somewhat grainy, and with a medium level of sweetness. Fruity citrus and apricot arrive simultaneously. Medium hop bitterness. Watery, lightly bitter finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. A tad watery. Drinkability: The ladies flanking me at the bar really dug it. A true gulper, if only to get to the next beer.

Apricot, Apricot, Apricot oh how you taste look and smell. I’m not sure why your named nine but your a little flat but a suitable salut for the summer. If you like a little more fruit in your flute than #9 is a magic hat, but I’m straying away from this style.
