Squatters Juicy IPA. A nice, citrus-and-dank flavored beer. Couldn’t tell color or haze-level because I drank it right from the can (how gauche!). Another good Utah offering.
Solid stuff from Uinta:
801 Pilsner
HooDoo Kolsch-style ale
Simcoe Session Ale
Valley Orchard fruit wheat
All firmly Cat 2.
"Amazing what a minute can do."

Picked up one more gose today, and passed on several more.
Saturday’s almost here, right? 🍻
Guess we'll have to have different categories now: session seltzer and imperial seltzer .
"Stronger Seltzer comes with an 8% ABV, which is significantly higher than the typical 4.5%-5.5% you'll find on most hard seltzers. (Though, Natural Light is releasing a hard seltzer with a 6% ABV.)"

We interrupt this Lagunitas lovefest to bring you a Vixen...
Tripel Vixen-Bombshell Beer Company
Drink local!
Belgian-style tripel with peach and hibiscus (from last PM)
Poured from a $3.50 pint can into an oversized Ommegang tulip in two almost equal portions. Light golden color as expected with a generous, fizzy, yet lingering, Belgian lacy head. Cooked peach pie filling aromas entice the nares without any spices. Peach jelly/syrup on the palate, maybe more like Del Monte canned peaches in light syrup. This one is a bit too sweet and has hints of floral bitterness but I'm missing the hibiscus scents/tastes (not that I've ever eaten any hibiscus ). Untapped quotes 28 IBUs and confirms the 10% ABV on the label. Fairly easy sipping over an hour and would pair nicely with a fruit plate or tart, maybe even a mildly spicy salsa atop some grilled tilapia. Knowing very little about Bombshell, I found this an enjoyable surprise and would be happy to share/trade/drink another. Fuse Cat 2.

Resuming the Lagunitas flight and pint reviews:
Phase Change (draft)-Lagunitas (Heineken) Brewing Company
"Wet hop in spring? A hazy beer? Belive (sic) your eyes"
Another 5 ounce sample that was mostly mine as our younger daughter doesn't like IPAs much and her husband was still sipping his pint. This was slightly hazy and light bronze-colored with a small head. What a a nose full of fresh grapefruit, pineapple, oil and zest, followed by rind and other citrus and tropical flavors that also included peach, tangerine, melon with a mildly oily/viscous mouthfeel from the wet hopping-varieties undisclosed. I'll guess IBUs around 70 with the ABV at 7.2%. Nice pairing with the remaining nachos. I smuggled a 12 ounce bottle of this back in a running shoe and it'll be sipped later this week. Tied for my favorite in-house brew of the night. Not quite a Cat 3 but well above the integer 2 with a decimal point .

Last call!
The Hairy Eyeball Rum Barrel Aged (draft)-Lagunitas (Heineken) Brewing Company
From the Barrel Aged and Hiiighly (sic) Limited Releases section of their beer menu.
An American strong ale
Pour was a dark brown with basically no head. Aromas? Dark, dried fruits and yo-ho-ho and a bottle of _ _ _. Tastes? Raisins, dates, figs, plums, molasses, dark caramel and dark rum. They've made several variants of this that I've never tasted and they list IBUs for the original/base brew as 56.66 (yea, really; two decimal places ). The ABV on this malt monster was a potent and boozey/rummy 11.8%. This tied the fresh/wet hop ale for beast, err, best of show Saturday night (*) because it's well done and I really like the style and the RBA makes it excellent. High Cat 2 rating-not quite Cat 3, but close. I'd buy a bomber of this if I saw it in a heartbeat.
(*) beer of the night until we consumed our to-go bomber for dessert upon arriving home after dinner/brewery visit .

Topical given recent discussion about beer names and Utah trips.
Not my area of legal expertise, but I suspect Wasatch may have a fairly decent First Amendment challenge over this, if they wanted to pursue it. "Immodest," "undignified," or "in bad taste" as a legal standard of withholding a governmental benefit? Seems pretty squishy to me.
