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.

This brew pours from a can a slightly hazy yellow color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, earthy hops and a bit of herbal yeast. The finish is mildly bitter with a citrusy hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottle shared at a tasting. A sour red. Good sour flavor and yeast in the aroma, also some berry flavor, which I attribute to the port barrels. A little vinegar.

Bottle. Chocolate and earthy roasty malt aroma. Deep chestnut with a moderate tan head. Milk chocolate, coffee, and roasty flavor. Medium body, moderate carbonation. I’m rather impressed at the fullness of flavor out of a 4% ABV.

Bottle thanks to Santa! Pours a cloudy red with a peach hue and a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of sour red fruits that have an acidic bite and and just a hint of grain. Flavor starts strong with sour/acidic red fruits but finish is more mellow and reserved.
