Muon Juice
Muon Juice is an IPA from Phase Three Brewing Company, based in Lake Zurich, Illinois. This Illinois craft offering pours a clear to hazy golden amber with a frothy white head that lingers invitingly. On the nose, expect a vibrant hop-forward bouquet with notes of citrus zest, tropical fruit, and a subtle piney undercurrent that signals the brewery's Pacific Northwest hop influences. The palate delivers a well-balanced bitterness alongside juicy fruit character — ripe mango, grapefruit, and a touch of stone fruit — supported by a smooth, medium-bodied malt backbone. The finish is clean and refreshingly dry, with a lasting resinous bitterness that encourages the next sip. A confident, approachable IPA from one of the Midwest's rising craft voices.
Tasting Notes

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
