hopIQ found 10 beers with the same tropical and hoppy character as Midwest Sound. Midwest Sound is a bold Imperial IPA from Phase Three Brewing Company in Lake Zurich, Illinois, a standout entry in the thriving Chicagoland craft beer scene. It pours a vivid golden-amber with a frothy white head and excellent clarity. The aroma bursts with tropical and citrus hops — ripe mango, blood orange, and a hint of pine resin. On the palate, a full, smooth body delivers waves of juicy hop character balanced by a firm but not aggressive bitterness. Subtle notes of biscuity malt provide backbone without stealing the spotlight. The finish is clean and lingering, leaving a pleasant resinous warmth. A well-crafted, highly drinkable double IPA with serious Midwestern attitude. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
