Pale Ale Parade(Session 2 of 2)

Election day beckons as we enter the month of November; I'll finish off this Pale ale extravaganza with my last 2 selections all having been tasted before. I'll reiterate that more raw numbers will allow the averages to help me formulate conclusions about all the categories tested.
Knight's Head Pale Ale: Color-Cloudy amber Nose-Hoppy First taste-Full mouth; fade; then hops Observations-Mostly balanced Fizziness-Rim head; few bubbles Where Brewed? Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Cost-$.42 Saying-"Brewing Refined" Aftertaste-Still hops Rating-6.75
Pass Time Pale Ale: Color-Cloudy orange amber Nose-Fresh (Audrey) First taste-Quick taste; flattens out Observations-Not memorable Fizziness-Frothy head; few bubbles Where Brewed? Boulder, Col. Cost-$.79 (Pioneer Super Market -W.74th & Columbus Ave.) Saying-Colorado's 1st Micro-Brewery Aftertaste-Pass on this one Rating-6
Final Thought-Possible shelf life problem with Pass Time; Was definitely better when tasted during the spring and summer!!!
