Wasatch Brewing is debuting a new label just in time for the holidays. Wasatch White Ale is a Belgian Style Wtibier made in the tradition of such favorites as Hoegaarden and Blue Moon.Pours a white, cloudy corn color with a thin frothy cap. The nose is of sulphur, wheat, banana and a little coriander. The taste is very similar to the nose with that odd sulfur essence leading off. Next comes bready wheat, then a dry banana. The finish has a minor "zesty" orange peel twang.
The sulfur notes are huge and put me off a bit. So I grabbed a Hoegaarden to
make a comparison to see if my palate was off. As it turns out the Hoegaarden was spot on. Wheaty, spicy, hints of orange, mellow citrus, good carbonation & balanced after taste. Everything I was hoping the Wasatch's Wit to be. Now, White Label isn't bad a bad wit even though it is on the stronger side of the style at 6.0% ABV. White Labels isn't due on DABC shelves for a few days. Still, I hope that they are able to correct the sulfur problem in future batches because it is a little offsetting. If your looking for other great local takes on this style try RedRock's Wit, Squatters' Witbier and Rype from Four+. Cheers!

Very cool. I'll have to check the state stores very soon. A nice addition for the holidays.
I think the orange peel is a bit over the top; it's really a nice flavor, just a little "too much" if that makes any sense. Even so - very enjoyable. I usually enjoy Wits in the spring & summer, but this one could be a nice holiday beer.
Hi There,
Thank you for sharing the knowledgeable blog with us I hope that you will post many more blog with us:-
Hoegaarden White Beer is feel is reasonably skinny, and there is much more carbonation than I expected. There is a lot more heft."
