Description:
Not quite pale ale. A beer cloaked in secrecy. An ale whose mysterious unusual palate will swirl across your tongue and ask more questions than it answers.
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. Our secret ingredient introduces a most unusual aroma which is balanced with residual sweetness.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. A rough pour gave it about one and a half fingers of white head. It has a golden-amber appearance. A small amount of lacing is present on the inside of the glass.
Aroma - 3.0
Has a strong scent of apricots and I can also make out some malt.
Mouthfeel - 3.0
It has a medium amount of carbonation along with a tingy feel. It is a light-bodied beer.
Taste - 3.0
Has a sweet apricot flavor with hints of citrus hops that ends crisp and dry.
Overall - 4.0
Nothing superb, but still a very enjoyable beer. It's very refreshing which makes it easy to session.

nothing really stands out about its appearance.
Aroma - 3.0
tad too sweet, heavy on apricot and citrus notes
Mouthfeel - 4.0
feels nice and smooth going down, just the right amount of carbonation to accompany a light meal.
Taste - 3.0
Not terrible, would pair well with a light meal, but a little to citrusy and sweet for my tastes.
Overall - 3.0
Not bad, not great. Only a narrow set of circumstances I would suggest choosing this for though.
