Magic Hat claims that #9 features a secret ingredient that "introduces a most unusual aroma which is balanced with residual sweetness." Many experts think the secret ingredient it is apricot. GotBeer.com says, "No. 9 does have a fruit-forward profile, but it doesn't exactly scream apricot. The flavor comes close to peach tea with a lemony tang."  What do you think?
