Food Pairings
- Barbecued Pork or Chicken: The sweetness and smokiness of barbecued meats pairs nicely with the fruity flavors.
- Seafood with Fruit Salsas: Grilled or baked seafood dishes, especially those served with fruity salsas containing mango, peach, or melon. Think Baja fish tacos!
- Spicy Asian Dishes: The beer’s fruitiness and smooth mouthfeel can balance the spice and complexity of Asian dishes, such as Thai mango salad, spicy Szechuan stir-fry, or Vietnamese spring rolls with a sweet chili sauce.
- Creamy Cheeses and Fruit Platters: A platter featuring creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert, accompanied by fresh fruits that mirror the beer’s aroma profile (like peaches and apricots), would be a delightful pairing.
- Lighter Fried Foods: Given the beer’s velvety mouthfeel, lighter fried foods like tempura vegetables, coconut shrimp, or calamari would pair well, as the beer can cut through the fried texture without overpowering the dish.
