Tavoliere Ambrata if you want malt-forward warmth and body,
The Carlton if you want crisp hop snap.
The Ambrata's extra ABV point gives it a noticeably rounder mouthfeel—you'll feel the alcohol gently, which works with those caramel notes. The Carlton leans into its IBU count more aggressively despite lower alcohol, making it feel leaner and more refreshing despite being technically less bitter.

Tavoliere Ambrata
Tavoliere Ambrata hits with a genuine amber sweetness—think toasted bread crust and a whisper of caramel. There's real body here; it coats your mouth without feeling heavy. The bitterness sits in the background, letting the malt character shine, and there's a warm finish that lingers just long enough to make you want another sip.
The Carlton
The Carlton is all citrus and dry finish. The hops cut through immediately with a clean bitterness that feels more assertive than the IBU number suggests—it's the way Hornbeer's hopping works, not just raw numbers. Lower ABV keeps it light on the palate, making this one genuinely easy to drink without ever feeling thin.
