BEER PAIRING
Pair with a Fruit Beer, like Blue Moon® Pacific Apricot Wheat
The apricot flavors of Blue Moon® Pacific Apricot Wheat provide a fresh and fruity contrast to the earthy notes of the beets and carrots in this dish.
The fruity apricot flavors add a bright contrast to the earthy notes of the carrots and beets while the beer's malt notes enhance their natural sweetness to create a harmonious pairing. Hints of cardamom in the beer highlight the glaze, and a lightly tart and crisp finish cleanses the palate.
