 The name came from "Pel" for pelican, "forte" for strong, because it contains a lot of malt (43 kg/hL), and the h added to give it an English feel.In addition to the "Blonde" (5.8% abv) and "Brune" (6.5% abv), "Pelforth Amber" (6% abv) was introduced in 2003.The Pelforth brewery also produces "George Killian's", a 6.5% amber or Irish ale.
