Dec 12, 2009 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.

Dec 12, 2009 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.

Dec 9, 2009 Orange with a white head which lasted for a few minutes. The smell of apricots and peaches was very apparent and tasting it gave the same flavors. I don’t mind an occasional fruit beer, so I enjoyed this one, as it was a surprise when I opened it.

Dec 9, 2009 Old-gold colored, slightly cloudy pour; small but persistent head. Definite tree fruit aroma (apricot and peach). Fruit nose consistent from sip to swallow. Fresh yeast complimented by fruit and malt; hops takes a back seat in this brew. Taste is not overly sweet, and while some disdain a fruit beer--seemingly on general principles--I’ve never seen anyone refuse a #9.

Dec 8, 2009 Fruit beer.... not my likin’. When I saw it at the bottle shop and I noticed "not quite pale ale" I went for it. Damn. Gotta fruit beer. Not so great but not all bad just not what I was expecting. Taste is of bannana and citrus. Smell..... don’t smell it. Looks, taste ok, smells not so good. good luck.

Dec 7, 2009 Pours out a clear light golden color with ripe fruity aromas. Taste is of light citrus hops, peach and some light malt. Taste is much the same with the peach flavor being more upfront but not obnoxiously over the top. Well balanced and enjoyable.

Dec 7, 2009 12oz bottle poured into an English pint glass. #9 pours pale yellow with a smallish head, much like a lager. The aroma is refreshing with peaches being the predominate odor. The taste is very much along the lines of peach but subtle hints of pineapple are present as well. The hops add a touch of bitterness that saves this from being overly sweet. All in all it is a nice beer with a clean finish.
