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.

This beer was an extreme let down. I had high hopes since I’ve heard great things but honestly the flavor was just lacking. the appearance is great and it is certainly appealing but the taste has that "commercial" lightness to it that I can’t stand. Also the fruitiness wasn’t balanced well at all.

The pour is yellow/amber with little white head. The nose is earthy and astringent, with subtle scents of apricot. The flavor is sweet, but not over-powerful, apricot is present here as well as touches of coriander.

I really enjoyed this beer. Nice aroma. It is very fruity with a nice apricot finish. Very easy to drink!

Pours a clear amber and a bit yellowish. A good head with an average amount of carbonation. Get a strong smell of fruits and the taste it leaves is fruity as well. A good fall back ale.

Golden yellow with a slight haze and a thin white head. Big apricot aroma. Light carbonation and a easy feeling body. Tart apricot flavor rounding off slowly. A dry thin finish.

Pours a slightly bright orange with very minimal head. Nose is very strong apricot with a little caramel sweetness. There seemed also some musty, plasticy yeast tones that seemed a little unusual. More apricot on the palate, instead of being integrated it overwhelms the rest of the beer. Not particularly impressed.
