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 hazy pale orange with a lingering white head. It smells of mango and oddly I’m thinking coconut. The flavor is mildly bitter with mango and citrus and sweet malt. It’s alright but kind of underwhelming.

Can (enjoy by 9/5/21) pour from Total Wine & More, Brentwood. It's a lightly hazy, pale yellow (urine-like) with tons of sparkle, 3-figner width white foamy head with good retention and mild lacing. Aroma is strong apricot, clove over light wheat. Taste is nicely balanced clove, apricot, yeast and mild esters. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, flat-to-soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, decent balance and strength (especially for the ABV) and nice an refreshing on a hot summer day--though would have been more so with a little more carbonation.
