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 is a clear pale amber color with a medium thin off-white head that burns away quickly. Faint ripe fruit aroma with some floral hops. Light-bodied with flavors of citrus, mildly spiced hops and bready malt. The finish is short and fruity and leaves a tart fruit and yeast aftertaste. Pretty standard Fruit Beer all around.

Has a definite apricot taste as stated before. Mouthfeel is pretty good. That being said, I’m not a huge fan of fruity beers, but it is a quality brew nonetheless.

Pours a light orange color, slightly hazy. Just a little bit of white head that fades pretty quick. Smells of apricots. Tastes like apricots. Mouthfeel is thin, good carbonation, a little metallic feeling. I think this beer tastes great. I get plenty of the fruit flavor.

This beer scores a 8 on my random 12 BCS. At its best this beer is better than the 2.5 it scored, it is also lower at its worst. I have experinced some consistancy issues from six pack to six pack. When its good I like the taste and aroma it is different but a welcome change from time to time.

Magic Hat #9 is an apricot-flavored beer that is average and nothing special
