The cocktail is usually garnished with a lemon twist. This lighter, less bitter variation on the classic Negroni was created by John Gertsen, a bartender at Boston's Drink. Due to its pleasantly bitter flavors and the color of a sunset, Contessa makes for a great aperitif or a refreshing summer drink.

This beer was conceived to push the concept of Doppelganger to the absolute limit of flavor and intensity. Both the kettle hopping rates and dry hopping rates were increased while keeping the base beer the same. The result surprises in its balance and softness.
The mouthfeel is viscous and coating with flavors of overripe mango, dank citrus, and rich tropical fruit balanced by a sharp, pleasant finish. This is one of our juiciest and most tropical beers, and one that should be kept cold and enjoyed fresh.

More fruity notes of pineapple, mango, and assorted tropical fruit. There’s a nice smoothness to this beer bordering on uffy. Fresh-cut pineapple stewed in pineapple juice and topped with candied pineapple. Malt backbone is chewy and substantial, while the bitterness is dangerously smooth.
Melon and cantaloupe right off the bat! Low spicy notes in the middle of the sip. Very unique.

Very GGGreennn by Tree House Brewing Company is a masterfully crafted Triple IPA (TIPA) that elevates their classic Green IPA to extraordinary heights. Bursting with vibrant tropical fruit flavors like mango, pineapple, and papaya, it’s complemented by zesty citrus notes, resinous pine, and a touch of peach.
Its full-bodied, silky mouthfeel creates a luxurious drinking experience, balancing the bold hop intensity with a slight malt sweetness that softens its high ABV (around 8.3-9%).
