Commercial Description:
To commemorate that twenty-year history, the brewers of Grand Teton have chosen four of our favorite beers--three current, one historical--to update and enhance. XX Mountainberry Double Wheat Ale is the second release in our 2008 XX series. Grand Teton's original fruit beer, Huckleberry Wheat, was brewed for about five years beginning more than a decade ago. It was light and sparkly, with just a hint of sweet-tart mountain huckleberry. This year's celebratory version is bigger in every way--more than double the original's malt, fermented to 7.6% alcohol by volume, then flavored with more than a pound per gallon of fresh Pacific Northwest huckleberries, blueberries and marionberries. Bold and flavorful, XX Mountainberry Double Wheat makes a wonderful aperitif, or try it with a balsamic vinaigrette salad, glazed ham, duck a l'orange or fruity dessert.

Purchased 1 litre swingtop bottle from Liquidsolutions.biz. Pours a hazy golden amber brew with a thin off-white head that slowly dissipates to a thin white ring. Aroma of tart berries, golden grain malt, a touch of yeast, and some toasted bread. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, dark berries, a touch of earthy spice, yeast and some cranberry. Finish is smooth with a mild yeast and blueberry aftertaste.

1 litre swing top bottle. Pours a hazy purplish red with a moderate linen white head that lasted until the bottom of the glass and coated the glass fully all the way to the end. Pleasant aroma of berries and wheat grain. The flavor is again berries along with some wheat. The berries compliment the wheat very well and are well proportioned. Fairly silky mouthfeel. Full bodied. Very enjoyable.

Crushed with Jakebra. Beer doesn’t know what it is, so I don’t. Pour is the best. Blueberries are very apparent. Better than expectation. Kinda like Clay Aiken: fruity, weird, almost aight but also kinda sucks.

Draught - Pours a burnt tan with a medium head, aroma is very fruit forward, grainy...flavour is cloying, almost creamy grain intertwined with some tart fruit, but still somehow comes accross sweet...decent alcohol, but definitely the runt of the CR Series...

750ml Swing Top Purple Wax Pours a very nice dark golden orange color, very nice carbonation, very nice one-finger plus creamy off-white head, which leaves some nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, very nice scent of blueberries, slight spices. The taste is sweet, malty, very nice blueberry notes, with some slight spices. Medium body. Very drinkable, this is an awesome brew, very tasty, highly recommended. Thanks Bill

This beer really is horrible. I was lucky enough to get the bottle opened for me or I would have scored it lower. All I can say is this brew has a defined berry sweetness border lining a medicinal Robitussin creature from the lock. Not enjoyable at all.

1l bottle. Must of got the worst bottle. Yeasty aroma that wasn’t very good. Amber body with big head and lot of carbination bubbles. Flavor was flat. Candy pop tarts without the candy sweetener. Wet yeasty malt grain flavor, flat. The only berry flavor was on a belch wtf. Wife wanted to try this beer with me also and was disappointed with the flat flavor and pale aroma. Not wotrth paying 13.99 a bottle. Uck.
