A Beer Cloaked in Secrecy An ale whose mysterious and unusual palate will swirl across your tongue and ask more than it answers. A sort of dry, crisp, 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 profile which is balanced with a residual sweetness. Our gateway beer, # 9 is very accessible, appealing to a broad range of pallets.
