TASTING NOTES

Little Creatures Rogers' Amber Ale

MaltyEarthySmooth-drinking

Rogers' slides down easy—there's a gentle caramel backbone that feels almost creamy for 3.8% ABV, with just enough biscuit character to keep it from being one-dimensional. The 28 IBUs are basically a whisper; you get a soft, dry finish that doesn't linger aggressively. It's the kind of amber that works when you're hungry or want something that won't wreck your palate after three pints.

Schlafly Pale Ale

HoppyCaramelMalty

Schlafly's got real presence. You taste those 40 IBUs immediately—piney, slightly herbal, with an earthy backbone that reads authentically English pale ale. There's some light toffee in there too, but the hops are the main character. It finishes crisp and slightly dry, with a bitterness that sticks around long enough to make you appreciate it.
