Production & Heritage

Phase Three Brewing Company operates out of Lake Zurich, Illinois, and has built a dedicated following for its hop-forward and adjunct-heavy releases. DDH Invisible Wings starts with a light base malt grain bill loaded with creamy flaked oats and pillowy malted oats — a combination designed to deliver the silky, full body expected of the New England IPA style. The double dry-hopping process uses Galaxy hops exclusively, meaning this expression receives twice the dry-hop charge of the standard Invisible Wings, intensifying the tropical and stone fruit aromatics Galaxy is known for.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Passionfruit and lychee lead immediately, followed by ripe pineapple and orange peel. A bready, yeast-forward undertone and a whisper of honey sit beneath the bright, quintessential Galaxy hop character.

Taste: The entry is soft and lush, with passionfruit dominating the front palate. Mid-palate brings pineapple and orange alongside a gentle malt sweetness from the oat-heavy grain bill. As it moves toward the peak, a firm tropical bitterness from the Galaxy hops asserts itself without becoming harsh.

Finish: Medium in length with a well-carbonated, lighter body that keeps things refreshing. Lingering tropical bitterness and a subtle earthy quality round out each sip cleanly.

How to Drink DDH Invisible Wings

Pour this one fresh and cold into a tulip glass or wide-mouth pint to release the full aromatic payload — hazy IPAs like this are built for drinking young and unadorned. A Paloma-style beer shandy works surprisingly well, combining the tropical notes with grapefruit soda for a crushable summer drink. It pairs naturally with a Michelada riff, where the passionfruit and citrus hop notes complement hot sauce and lime. For something unconventional, use it in a beer float with mango sorbet, where the creamy oat body and tropical hops mirror the fruit.
