First World Problems pours deep straw with a huge off-white head and lots of lacing. The nose is an intriguing blend of New World hops and fruity/phenolic yeast esters from its unique Belgian yeast strain. The taste is medium to light-bodied, with an assertive bitterness. Hops dominate but fruit from the yeast can be picked up and the malt backbone is interesting with the addition of malted rye.
