In keeping with our authentic provenance, the Hercules Brewing Company has also created an original Belfast Pale Ale. This recipe is reflective of the beer style that would have been available in Belfast back in the mid 1800’s.
Soft delicate floral bouquet with rich caramels. Well balanced fruity front palate with a dry full bodied citrus finish and triple hopped.
