MAGIC HAT #9 (It's not quite pale-ale)

I first encountered Magic Hat #9 three years ago when I ventured to the Northeast to attend college, and it's since become one of my favorite brews.

From Magic Hat Brewing Company in Burlington, VT.  As described, its "almost a Pale-ale," but fruity with hints of peach and apricot.  Made with English Ale yeast and Cascade and Columbus hops.

Could its name be alluding to The Beatles' song Revolution #9?...because this is one revolutionary ale.
