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.

On tap at Eno’s Pizza Tavern in Dallas, TX. Pours a hazy light gold with white head. Aroma is nice, very fruity/citrus, apricot, orange, wheat, and yeasty. Flavor of apricot,, very citrusy, yeasty, taste wheat. Mouth feel is light body with high carbonation. Overall, a pretty tasty, refreshing beer....

Clear tan appearance. Berries present on the nose. Sweet initial that immediately fades to a bitter finish that dries you out. Not one to drink if you’re parched.

Pours a dark golden with a few large bubbles and a very small white head. Big apricot aroma with some sweet caramel malt. Nice English like pale ale character, fair amount of hops and caramel malt, with moderately sweet apricot flavor... pretty straight forward and not bad. The base beer is not a weak ale at all, but rather just full enough to not get completely overwhelmed by the fruit. Medium body with nice carbonation.

Clear copper with a small off-white head. Very faint aroma of light fruit. Flavor has notes of raspberries, strawberries and some caramel. Ends watery with no aftertaste. Moderately sweet, no bitterness detected. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. No lacing or head retention. Drinkable but extremely boring.

12 oz bottle. Nice session beer all around. Had a few (6 pack) of these at party for my friend when he returned home from Iraq and they were far better then anything else that was offered that night.

A three finger sized head is light gold in color and dissipates slowly. Beer itself is golden with light cloudiness. Moderate carbonation. A nose full of sweet fruit with a hint of funkiness. Flavor has less fruit than the aroma but it is still prominent. Some tart hops also add bitterness and dirtiness. There is a vegetable taste that doesn’t help. Occasionally a malt profile tried to pop up. Hops never asserted themselves. Fruit faded mid glass. I’m not sure what this beer tried to do but it ended up doing almost nothing well.

Good beer for just every day drinking. Light color, great flavor. A different and very enjoyable beer.
