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.

500 ml glass at the Brewpub. Pours a clear yellow color with a large white head. A nose of apples, some sweetness maybe a jolly rancher. The flavor is a somewhat odd sweet mix of sweet fruit, very malty but not deep or thorough malts, ripe, apple cider-ish. Very fizzy. OK.

I missed this beer when it was in Chubbies but not it has returned in bottle form. Pours a clear golden color with a large white head. A sweet bready nose with honey and light apple. A nice clean flavor of big sweet malts, some light biscuit, a bit of honey and banana, some cloves. Nice.

35,5 cl bottle @ hotel room, Las Vegas. Born in 04.05.2012
Aroma has roasted and bready malt with some English hops, toffee and licorice. Flavour has salty licorice, some ash and bready malt. A feeling of alcoholfree malt drink. But not bad still.

Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as a bit of dusty hops, leading to a dry finish.
