Overall similarity
HOPIQ TAKE
Belfast Ale if you want a touch more weight and presence, Double Dragon if you want something that drinks lighter and snappier. They're nearly twins on paper—same IBUs, less than half a percent apart on ABV—but Belfast has a subtle richness that sits in your mouth a beat longer. Double Dragon is the one that disappears faster, which some nights is exactly what you need.
