Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Peckham Pale if you want a pale ale with more backbone and grip,
Wild Cat if you want something lighter and breezier.
Both clock in at identical IBUs—38—so bitterness isn't the differentiator; it's the half-point ABV gap that reshapes the whole experience. Peckham's extra alcohol gives it weight that lingers, while Wild Cat finishes cleaner and faster. Neither dominates; it depends on whether you're settling in or moving through your night.

Peckham Pale
Peckham Pale has real substance for a 4.5% beer. There's a malt backbone that doesn't get lost—caramel sweetness sits solid underneath the hop bite, and it actually feels like it's holding its ground rather than vanishing midway through the glass. The bitterness is clean and measured, not sharp. Finish sticks around longer than you'd expect.
Wild Cat
Wild Cat drinks lighter and snappier, which sounds like a knock but isn't. At 4% it's got this buoyancy that makes it genuinely easy to keep ordering. The hops are bright and present but don't weigh on you; it's more about clarity than complexity. Finishes dry and quick, which works perfectly if you're not looking for something demanding.
