Layering expressive Southern Hemisphere character with classic American hop intensity, Hop Butcher For The World First Futures Double IPA delivers a deeply saturated hop profile at 8.0% ABV. Simcoe lays the foundation with resinous pine and ripe stone fruit while Waimea and fresh Waimea Hop Juice amplify bold citrus, tropical passionfruit, and dank herbal complexity. Eclipse rounds out the blend with bursts of sweet mandarin orange and candied citrus zest. A soft, hazy malt body built with oats and wheat provides a plush mouthfeel that supports the beer’s explosive aromatics without harsh bitterness. Juicy, layered, and intensely aromatic, First Futures showcases Hop Butcher’s hop-forward brewing style with a clean finish and elevated drinkability for a double IPA of its size.
