Commercial Description:
Wasatch Winterfest is a rich amber ale with caramel malt flavors and a large hop presence. Brewed with the finest Northwestern pale and caramel malts then generously hopped with Columbus and Amarillo hops. Crafted in the spirit and style of the Sierra Nevada Celebration. Inspiration? "This new seasonal was brewed to warm you through the cold winter months! Our Winterfest Ale makes a wonderful compliment to an epic day on the mountain, and the perfect companion around the fire. It’s our toast to Utah."

Bottle. Aroma of citrus and generally tropical fruits, floral hops, sourdough malt. Flavor a nice display of the hops on a rich, lightly nutty, doughnut malt base. Crisp, hoppy, and sweet, well-rounded. A fan of this variety of winter ale.

Bottle at bockyhorsey’s pad. Pours a deep amber color with a beige head. Looks and smells a bit like a dark IPA - loaded with grapefruity hops. Smooth in flavor with a note of figgy pudding. Nice, but the sweetness grows to be a bit cloying.

Ruby red tinted brown pour. Very clear and crisp with a nice thick light tan head. Piny hop aroma. Hints of sweet citrus, Very dry bitter flavor. Some caramel malt. Very bitter finish with alcohol. Crisp, but a little heavy.
