Description
As of 5/24/25 Wasatch Brewery beers will no longer be brewed in Utah. They will be brewed in the Monster Brewing network.
“Where’s the beer? Where are the breweries?” Those were among the first thoughts Greg Schirf had after moving to Utah from Milwaukee in the early 80’s. Incredibly, drinking and brewing were all but forbidden. Greg took matters into his own hands and did what any self-respecting midwesterner would do: He started a brewery. Wasatch was the very first brewery in Utah – and one of the first craft brewers in all of the U.S. – brewing award-winning brews since 1986.
In 1988, Greg Schirf proposed another bill to the Utah Legislature making brewpubs legal in Utah and opened the first brewpub at the top of historic Main Street in the resort town of Park City. Wasatch continues to misbehave, turning out naughty beer after naughty beer year after year.

Pours clear pale golden with a small white head, light lacing. Aroma of coconut and vegital. Flavor is doughy, vegital, coconut and grassy
I didn't like this at first, but it grows on me after a few sips. This would be a great summer beer if in cans.

12 ounce can from somewhere in Wisconsin. Dark brown, thin fizzy tan head, fair retention. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, roast. Taste is roast, oak, bourbon, raisin. Thin. Both over-barreled and bland. How do you pull that off?

Pours slightly cloudy golden with a small off-white head, good lacing. A nice hop combination. Fruity with a nice mild bitterness
I was loosing faith in this series but this is a nice combination.
