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.

Great beer that always seems unique; strange brew, with a mixed variety of flavors from hops to fruit that all seem to work well together. Pretty smooth with a light to medium body that goes down easy. I’ve been drinking #9 for years and always find the overall flavor different and enjoyable.

Weird aroma and taste. I wasn’t a big fan. From the bottle. Won’t have it again.

Draft at Pitchfork. Pours a coppery color with some maltiness in the nose, sweet and candy with a touch of fruit. I think I get clementines or some generic nectarine. Taste is much the same. Okay.

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.
