Magic Hat #9 – One of my Top-10 Beers

If I were preparing for the end of the world and had room in my bunker for only 10 cases of beer, there would be some Magic Hat #9. Here' 's why...

Magic Hat #9 is truly a unique-tasting beer. And I’m not saying that just for dramatic effect. Most beers tend to have a taste that’s not too far off from some other beer. With #9, I could taste-test 100 beers and easily pick out the #9. It has a pleasant uniquely striking taste, and nothing comes close.

I first discovered it around 2005 or 2006 while bar hopping in my neighborhood of Williamsburg. Around that time my preference was drinking and discovering new wheat beers. One of my favorite watering holes featured Magic Hat’s “Citrus Boy” on draft. It was Love At First Sip!

Citrus Boy is still one of my favorites. Although, I find it not as easily found as much as #9. I treat Citrus Boy like an exotic sports car that’s taken out of the garage once in a while. While #9 is the dependable luxury sedan that gets me to and from work and everyday tasks.

Anyway, one day the bar was out of Citrus Boy, so I thought I’d give the other beer from the same brewery a try. #9 has been in my Top-10 beers ever since.
