Pair Asian Meatball Sliders with a Hoisin Glaze with an Amber Ale. An American Amber Ale has a malty backbone which brings together the exotic, spicy flavor of the sliders. Fruity, caramel notes accentuate the sweet, tartness of the Hoisin sauce while the fuller body of this beer balances each bite.
