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. Pours cloudy gold with a half finger white head. The nose is ripe fruit like apricots with some sweet malt in the background. The taste is fruit, malt and light citrus. Medium prickly mouthfeel. Refreshing brew.

Bottle from Archer Liquors. Pours clear copper with a decent finely bubbled head. Nose is largely apricot. Love that. There’s a bit of sour pit like aroma too. Near medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor seems perfumey nectarine and apricot. It’s lightly sweet, but that’s more than balanced by the pit suck bitter character in the finish. My. Yes, mine. Tasty.

bottle: pint glass: pours not quite clear orange/ amber with about 1 finger of head. The nose is young fruit... apricots, some citrus, and malts. The tongue is met with high carbonation and a light, almost thin body. There is a mouth coating quality of bitters, not bad. A thin lingering head, decent lacing. Some hoppy and bitter notes on the end.

A good session beer with a hint of fruit and secret ingredients. I am thinking pomegranate.

12oz bottle in a variety pack. Pale with a moderate white head. Drinkable but easy to forget.
