🌍 United States · New England IPA · One of 37 New England IPAs in hopIQ

True Colors from Phase Three Brewing Company in Lake Zurich, Illinois, is a hazy New England IPA that showcases the Illinois craft brewery's skill with the juicy, unfiltered style. It pours a dense, opaque golden-orange with a pillowy white head. The aroma bursts with tropical and citrus notes — think ripe mango, tangerine, and fresh pineapple layered over a soft, doughy base. On the palate, the beer is lush and full-bodied, with a creamy mouthfeel characteristic of the style. Bright fruit flavors dominate, balanced by a restrained, gentle bitterness that never overwhelms. The finish is smooth and relatively dry, leaving a pleasant, lingering citrus warmth that invites the next sip.

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.
