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.

12 ounce bottle thanks to Craig. Pours a dark copper color with a medium white head. A light pine and caramel nose. Sweet caramel, toast, pine, citrus hops. Pretty good. Much darker than an average pale. I agree with Ed, evolution variant.

A lighlty unclear, golden beer topped by a small, off-white head. Weak aroma with some fruityness and dusty malts. The flavor is pretty much the same, although there’s some sweetness too. A little bitterness shows up towards the finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. A little metallic hint in the far back. Nothing impressive going on here, but it drinks easily and is sort of quenches. 140118

Bottle: Pale, hazy straw color with a finger of bubbly off-white head. Sticky bits of lacing. Nose is sweet and hoppy. Light citrus and somewhat piney. Crisp, almost shockingly so. A bit of lemon zest, herbals, florals, and the yeast is a bit prickly. Lingering finish is dirty florals and musty malts before getting a tad soapy. Mellows out a bit towards the end of the glass, but I really didn’t get much satisfaction here.
