Pale Ale Potential

Back from a weekend trip to UDel and Bryce, it is a great time to continue my pale ale revues. Tonight I will compare two ales from Vermont; let the evaluating begin!!!
Magic Hat No. 9: Color-Dark yellowish Nose-Heavy hops First taste-Smooth; tangy Observations-Taste remains Fizziness-Foamy head; many bubbles Cost-$.84(Variety Show Pack purchased West Chester, Pa.) Where Brewed? So. Burlington, Vt. Saying-"Essence of Apricot" Aftertaste-Can taste hint of apricot Rating-7.5
Wolaver Pale Ale: Color-Orange amber Nose-Caramel like First taste-Strong; back throat Observations-Fleeting taste; still some Fizziness-Rim head; some carbonation Cost-$1.31 Where Brewed? Middlebury, Vt. Saying-"Certified Organic" Aftertaste-Remainder has some depth Rating-6.75
Final Thought-No. 9 very good pale ale!!!
