does not count  Apr 1, 2007 By far the best IPA I have ever tasted. I was lucky enough to try this several years ago when they won the Gold at the great american (which was not last year as the description says it was like 4 or 5 years ago). Anyway I just tried it again this last week while in Helena at the Windbag (great place) and although I can’t remember from 5 years back it was AWESOME. HUGE aroma, but unexpected nice sweet, smooth, fruity flavor with a just the right amount of bitterness. Looked for this in bottles but could not find in any stores. Stopped by the Tap Room and they had cases of it for sale...bought 2. Once home I did notice the bottles were not as good as the draft which is the case with most beers but this is still my new favorite beer and only perfect score I have given !

does not count Feb 11, 2007 If you visit the brewery, urge them to change Tumbleweed back! Still very good, but missing the rich hoppiness that many a Montanan enjoyed a few years ago.

Jul 25, 2006 Tap @ Dog & Grog Virginia City. This IPA took first place in the microbrew fest for me. Almost clear golden. Nice aroma of fresh, resinious hops with malty background. Flavor is med roast malt w the fresh hops, slight alcohol taste. Well into medium bodied. Very good IPA.

Jul 24, 2006 On Tap @ The Brewhouse, Helena: Flowery and spicey aroma; fruity malts and slightly inadequate bitterness in an otherwise decent brew.
