The award-winning Wallace Amber was originally made as a single edition to celebrate the birthday of Biermarkt, one of our first customers and great partner of Seasons. We launched the beer as seasonal, but liked it so much we decided to transfer it to the annual production line. Especially because we were longing to drink it, and making such a good beer only once a year is cruelty. 

The name is a double honor: the eponymous father of evolution, Alfred Russel Wallace, credited with having conceived the theory of evolution by natural selection; and his reincarnation as Mr. Wallace, the "Godfather of Biermarkt" guy who understands more beer on site. Wallace is the evolution of the beer, leaving the little world of beers tasteless to enter the world of craft beer, a discovery of flavors and aromas that makes our taste. 

The Wallace Amber values the malty character of a beer. With a selection of malts German Caramelised, the body of Amber is quite complex. Wallace innovates with the first revenues in Latin America to use malt Weyermann Special W®, new malt more traditional malting plant in the world and a partner of Seasons, the Weyermann, Bamberg, Germany. To balance all this sweetness, two doses of American hops, which adds a new dimension to the flavors and scents of Amber.  Wallace Amber:  it's evolution, baby! Specs
