Tasting Notes

Fruity Yeast Esters, Big Bitterness and New World Hops

Allergens

Barley, Wheat

First World Problems is a bold and complex Belgian IPA, featuring assertive bitterness from New World hops, layered with subtle fruit esters from Belgian yeast, and a distinctive spicy depth from malted rye. It’s a beer that balances hop-forward intensity with yeast-driven nuance and a dry, peppery finish.

Originally crafted by James Hardacre, the winning entry in a 2014 homebrew competition, this beer has since been refined and reimagined, but still honours the spirit of the original recipe that captured our attention.

What is a Belgian IPA?
A Belgian IPA combines the bold hop character of an American IPA with the fruity, spicy complexity of Belgian yeast. The result is a beer that’s aromatic, dry, and slightly funky, with a unique interplay between citrus hops and yeast esters. It’s a style that bridges two brewing traditions, perfect for those who love hops but crave something a little different.

Perfect for fans of experimental IPAs, Belgian-style beers, and those who appreciate a story behind the beer.
