Commercial Description:
Full Tilt's assertive aroma and flavor are derived from the generous use of fresh hops, which are added during the brewing and fermenation. The five different speciality malts give it depth of flavor and a suprising mouthfeel.

Pours a golden yellow with a thin white head. A bit of caramelized malt and floral in the nose, reminiscent of a Maibock. Hops are certainly there but not quite as prevalent as I would expect in an IPA. Bit of a bready and malty taste dominates. I would classify this as a Maibock and not an IPA.

12 oz bottle. Poured a pale, goldenrod color. Decent lacing. Aroma was mostly malty, very little of the pine or citrus flavor I expect from an IPA. Flavor was also very malty, some toffee but hardly any hop flavor. Disappointing. Palate was okay. Overall I have a hard time believing this is an IPA.

Pale golden color, small white head, some lacing. Strong malt base, some flowery hops, slightly grassy, a bit of lemon. Kinda different. Plenty of caramel and some biscuit in the flavor, slightly hoppy finish, and I mean slightly. Not a whole lot of flavor, but it did taste alright. Higher carbonation, heavier side of medium bodied. This was an alright beer, not very IPA-ish to me, but still a beer worth drinking.

12oz bottle that I have been holding onto for 10-11 months. Served fairly cold in a shaker glass. Aroma is faint floral hops. Flavor is light malt, light floral hops, and a slight bitterness. Pretty mellow beer, not really much of an IPA in any way, shape, or form. Not a lot here.

Pours a copper colour in body with a moderately sized floral head. Lightly hopped, the roasted malts in the body is a little more obvious. Soft citrus fruit throughout the beer.
