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.

12 oz. bottle served in tumbler- poured transparent orange yellow color, medium carbonation, frothy white head half finger head sat still upont the liquid surface, nice lacing. Aroma of raspberries, sweet peaches, and yeast. Hits the mouth with a low body, malt is light but many various notes of fruit (mentioned previously), middle holds up fine, finish is clean and dry. Not too shabby.

Bottle at Monks Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Pours slightly hazy with a firm head. Fruity and dry, nice rasberry tartness.

Bottle.Yellow. Sweet fruity aroma with a small funky touch. Sweet apricot fruitiness in taste aswell. Finishes off with a certain dryness.

Bottle pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aroma is bread and citrus hops. First taste is sweet bread then a light citrus note. Finish is clean. Decent but should describe beer a little better on bottle.

On tap. Pours gold. Nose is subtle biscuit, some citrus. Flavor is a clean biscuity malt, toasty grain, some citrus, mild mild hints of apricot and citrus hops. I remember this beer being way better years ago.

A hazy golden beer with little head. Aroma was malty, & sour fruit. The taste is rmalty with a slightly sour finish. The best thing about this beer is the bottle. I guess they have to pump up this beer with the ’cloaked in secrecy ale whose mysterious and unusual palate’ & ’ impossible to describe.’ I assure you that does not apply as their is nothing mysterious about it, & impossible to describe should be saved for other beers worth that moniker.

Pours a golden amber with a frothy but short lived white head. The aroma has a lot of apricot, peach and bready malt to it. Can sense some noble-type hops as well. Quite sweet at first, but fades into a fruity apricot taste, with very slight hops and some light spice. Annoyingly sweet throughout, but flavorful. Medium bodied with light carbonation.

Pint on Tap. Orange colored with an off-white head. Smells like apricot. Tastes like apricot with sugary sweetness reminiscent of a Belgian. Leaves an apricot aftertaste. I was not impressed with this at all and would actually avoid.
