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 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.

Pours very hazy and amber/gold in color. Very little head that dissipates almost immediately. The aroma is pretty straightforward: hops and apricot. The taste is about the same...malty with apricot. There is virtually no depth, and there is so little malt/hop in the actual taste that I found myself thinking i was tasting dried apricots soaked in a low-concentration rubbing alcohol. Not enjoyable, and certainly not something I’d recommend.

This is great as long as you dont mind the sweetness. Not overly fruity so it is more than a novelty beer, but not to the point where I could drink it all the time. A nice change of pace, but its too smooth, I need something with a bit more of a kick.

it says its a fruit beer but it tastes like old fruit gum. astrigent tasting malts with unpleesant hops makes this undesirable

Nice amber color with a off white head that dissipates quickly. Interesting hop/apricot aroma that continues on to be present in the aftertaste. Interesting balance, sometimes a little floral for my taste, but still quite good.

A good sturdy fruity beer that has a good amber color and a nice fruit aftertaste.
