🌍 United States · Double IPA · One of 86 Double IPAs in hopIQ

First Futures is a Double IPA from Hop Butcher For The World, the celebrated Chicago hop-forward specialists who have built a loyal following across the American Midwest and beyond. It pours a hazy, sun-kissed golden-orange with a soft, pillowy white head. The aroma bursts with bright citrus zest, ripe tropical fruit, and a touch of pine resin, showcasing the brewery's signature hop-forward philosophy. On the palate, a lush, medium-full body delivers waves of juicy mango, passionfruit, and orange peel, balanced by a clean, restrained bitterness that keeps everything in check. The finish is crisp and dry, with lingering tropical and floral hop notes that invite the next sip.

What is a Double IPA?

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
