Pale Ale Permutations

Audrey is giving Maxine a break in Florida by visiting her mom in the re-hab recovering from shoulder replacement surgery. I will do another in my series of pale tastings pitting 2 domestics ones.
Magic Hat No.9: Color-Cloudy golden Nose-Strongly hoppy First taste-Full mouth Observations-Nice taste Where brewed? So. Burlington, Vt. Fizziness-Medium head; active bubbles Cost-$.84(Discounted case price) Style-Almost pale ale Saying-Not quite pale ale Alcohol-4.6% Container-12 oz. bottle Aftertaste-Some Rating-7.25
Troeg's: Color-Clear yellowish Nose-Pleasant hoppy First taste-Slight grapefruit Observations-Well balanced Fizziness-Mild head; few bubbles Cost-$1.36 Style-Pale ale Saying-Independent Craft brewery Alcohol-5.4% Container-12 oz. Aftertaste-Smooth; tasty Rating-7.5
Final thought-Both very good pale ale types!!!
