Number of failures before it became true bliss: 8

I guess Magic Hat is a fairly prominent brewery nowadays, and I guess #9 is about their most recognizable brew. Well, here I am a ripe old twentysomething and this is the first time I've had Magic Hat #9 (that I can remember at least). To sum it up in one word: tastetastic.

With a hint of some manner of citrus-y fruit that my palette is too unsophisticated to identify, #9 is a "not quite" pale ale that flows down the throat smooth as can be. Yes, #9, you are indeed a magic number. And you get an A. Congratulations. I can't wait to drink your friends too.
