Polyamorous

Polyamorous is a beer from Massachusetts, labeled United States, and the details on file don't name a style, ABV or IBU. Treat the notes below as general guidance for a beer of this kind, not a measured profile. Check the label for the style and strength, and use those to refine the serving advice. Most beers like this are best served cool but not ice-cold. Around 38 to 45°F (3 to 7°C) keeps the carbonation lively and lets the malt and hop aromatics show, while a very cold pour tends to mute them. If the label points to a hop-forward ale, lean toward the warmer end of that range. A lighter lager or pilsner-type beer can sit at the colder end. A standard pint glass or a tulip works for nearly any ale. Pour at an angle, then straighten the glass to build a finger or two of head, which carries aroma. If the beer turns out to be a strongly aromatic style, the tulip's tapered rim will hold those aromas better than a straight-sided glass. For food, match intensity to the beer. Lighter, crisper beers suit salads, fish and grilled chicken. Amber and hoppier ales hold up to burgers, sausages, sharp cheddar and spicy dishes, where bitterness cuts through fat and heat. Maltier, darker beers pair well with roasted meats and caramelized flavors.
