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.

Bottle brought home from US by Paul. Beer pours a deep dark brown colour with a small tan colour head. Aroma of roasted chocolate, nutty, with coffee. Light sweetness, hint of sour. Body fairly light, oily texture, carbonation has a little fizz to it. Finish is a dry, and a bit sour with bitter coffee.

Bottle. A- Cloves, coriander, wheat, eggs, lemon. A- Pale yellow color, hazy liquid, minimal head. T- Coriander, cloves, wheat, spices. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, spiced finish. O- A little light. Then again, I had this bottle sitting around for way to long, so it certainly wasn’t in it’s prime. Lots of spice and wheat on the palate and nose. Otherwise a pretty standard wit.

12oz bottle pours with nice looking dark body that is almost black that supports a thin light mocha colored head of foam. The aroma offers up a mix of cinnamon spice and pumpkin notes as well as a fruity esters sort of sensation blended with faint dark roasted malts. The taste starts with a pleasing blend of dark roasted malts, spicy cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg and a pretty tasty pumpkin thing that’s going on. In the background I can’t help but notice a slender fruity ester note that seems to be banging around. To midway and into the finish a nice chocolate sensation joins in and takes this to closure. Solid balanced tasty brew.

12oz can. Hazy yellow-orange body. No real head after a minute or two...just some soda-like rising carbonation bubbles. The aroma is over-the-top, sort of artificial or enhanced. Think a little more intense Pyramid Apricot. The hefe-yeast gives it a touch more depth, attempting to peek through the apricot overload. Fruit forward and sweet OK for what it is.

Bottle shared at chriso’s Post-GBBF 2014 Tasting - London. Pours hazy, pale yellow with a frothy white head. OK stuff, some wheat bread and citrusy hops. Moderately sweet with restrained bitterness, faint dough. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with mellow lemony hops. OK.
