Production & Heritage
Phase Three Brewing Company operates out of Lake Zurich, Illinois, where the brewery has built a reputation as one of the most sought-after hazy IPA producers in the Midwest and beyond. The brewery specializes in heavily hopped, New England–style IPAs characterized by generous dry-hop schedules, high-protein grain bills designed to create a pillowy body, and carefully selected yeast strains that emphasize biotransformation of hop oils into intense tropical aromatics. Fresh Fresh follows Phase Three’s approach of releasing small-batch, limited-run beers that are intended to be consumed as close to the packaging date as possible for peak hop expression.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Expect an immediate burst of tropical fruit — ripe mango, passion fruit, and citrus peel are hallmarks of Phase Three’s hop-forward style. A soft, doughy grain sweetness anchors the more volatile aromatics.
Taste: The entry is plush and creamy, with concentrated tropical juice flavors that build across the mid-palate. Mango, papaya, and tangerine tend to dominate, supported by a restrained bitterness that keeps the sweetness in check. The mouthfeel is characteristically full and smooth, with minimal astringency.
Finish: Moderate in length, trailing off with lingering citrus pith and a faint resinous hop note. The finish stays juicy rather than dry, consistent with the New England IPA style.
How to Drink Fresh Fresh
Pour Fresh Fresh into a tulip glass or stemless wine glass to maximize aroma concentration — drink it cold, ideally within a few weeks of purchase for peak freshness. This beer is built for standalone enjoyment rather than cocktail use, as the delicate hop aromatics and creamy texture are best appreciated on their own. That said, hazy IPAs like Fresh Fresh can anchor a beer-and-food pairing session nicely alongside bold, flavorful dishes.
