Pale Ale Parade(Part 1 of 2)

This will be a double pale ale tasting with repeats of previously tasted items. It is part of my process of creating a large enough sample so averages will dictate results.
Saranac Pale Ale: Color-Clear orange amber Nose-Hoppy First taste-Nice flavor burst Fizziness-Frothy head; active steady bubbles. Where Brewed? Utica, NY Cost-$1.05 Saying-"The Spirit of the Adirondacks" Aftertaste-Lasting Rating-7.75
Smuttynose Shoal's Pale Ale: Color-Cloudy amber orange Nose-Sharp First taste-Strong piercing taste Observations-Overpowering Fizziness-Rim head; few bubbles Where Brewed? Portsmouth, NH Cost-$1.20 Saying-Samuel Haley House on Smuttynose Island Aftertaste-Flattens out Rating-7
After thought-Saranac a Winner!!!
