TASTING NOTES

Little Creatures Rogers' Amber Ale

MaltyEarthySmooth-drinking

Rogers' Amber hits with a clean, slightly sweet malt backbone—caramel notes without being cloying—and the 28 IBUs are there but polite about it. There's a toasty, biscuit quality that feels intentional, not accidental. It's the kind of beer that tastes better the more relaxed you are, and it won't leave your mouth feeling stripped by the end of the night.

Schlafly Pale Ale

HoppyCaramelMalty

Schlafly's got real presence. The English pale ale character means the hops aren't screaming modern IPA-style—they're more herbal, earthy, with a subtle spice underneath. That extra 40 IBUs creates a drying finish that lingers, and there's enough malt depth to keep it from feeling thin. It's a beer that asks you to pay attention.
