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.

Yellow pour, white foamy head... head sticks around a while, too. Aroma of yeast, slight corn-like smell. Fruits like peach, pineapple, honeydew melon perhaps? Apricot, tangerine. Taste... sweet, soft tartness. Slight saltiness. Palate... moderate to high carbonation... moderately clean finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear orange with a thin white head. Big apricot aromas, smell a bit like a liquor with how overpowering it is, though there’s barely a hint of wheat in the background. Grainy and really sweet. Finishes with a light bitterness. Lacks any subtlety.

Draft. Pours an orangey gold with a medium white head. Aroma is fruity sweet. Flavor is of apricot, mild malt, some citrusy hops, and a bit of yeastiness. Sweet, but not overly so. Very refreshing. A nice beer.

Pours golden with a medium white head. Aroma is honeysuckles and hops. Taste is honeysuckle and slight hops with a hint of banana. Good beer. Not great but pretty darn good.

On tap at the Fort Worth Gingerman. Pours hazy, pale yellow. Smells like a Starburst. Taste is candied fruit, bananas, and pineapple. Great, faint fruit aftertaste.

Thanks to Strykzone for this one. It poured a hazy gold color with a small persistent head. Nose of fruit showing apricot and apple. Medium mouthfeel. The flavor is mild and overall this is easy drinking and decent fruit beer.

One of the worst samples I’ve tried this year. Pours a brilliant copper with a nice white head. Aroma is of bread and some light dried fruit. Taste is... well, how do I put this, imagine unsweetened fruit seltzer water. No body, no sweetness, no bitterness, just very, very dry.
