Description
Wallace Brewing Company, 15-barrel microbrewery, began selling its beer in January 2009, in historic Wallace, Idaho.
A collaborative effort of Wallace’s Chase Sanborn, Dean Cooper, Rick Magnuson and the Zanettis, the brewery pays homage to the town’s notorious past, creating a brand of beers with mining and bordello-inspired monikers such as ‘Dirty Blonde’, ‘Jackleg Stout’, ‘RedLight Irish Red Ale’, and ‘Idaho Select Light Lager’ .
“We want to brew in the honest spirit of the mining heritage,” General Manager, Chase Sanborn said. “It’s not only the prevailing reputation of the town, but also one that can elevate the Wallace Brewing brand.

On Tap at Growler Guys Meridian. Clear very faint pale rose’ color. A quick wisly white head settling to a thin ring. Subtle is the word here. Very faint berry aroma and flavors. Very light and dry lager base. A bit under hopped, even considering the huckleberries are intended to come though. Light summer beer.

12oz can pours out a hazy peach color topped with a small white head. nose is kind of like a berliner with the light lemon tart note along with a light Huckleberry sweetness. Taste is more of the light tartness lemon and berries.

Draft pour pint at The Collective. Oily golden pour with a cream foam head. Near absent malt aroma. Spice mlt up front with a good hop addition. Clean flavor. Low bitter. Easy drinking. Slightly better than my expectations for an IPL. Good stuff.

On tap at Mai Thai. Not quite black, but a very dark brown. Thin creamy beige head, lots of lacing. Mild roast malt aroma. Taste adds a touch of sweetness to take the edge off of the bitterness, making this exceptionally smooth. Creamy mouth feel.

Bottle - Sweet caramel and a touch of oak.clearish copper with a dent white head. Sweet and bitter caramel notes. A bit underwhelming and lacking complexity.
