Smells slightly fruity, almost like bananas, sort of like suntan lotion. Pours a nice hazy yellow color with a very small head. Taste is kind of musty with some sweet malts to it. Virtually no hops, a little dry on the finish. I might have gotten a really old bottle. Came with a random assortment of beers from the distributor.

straw yellow appearance with a slightly bitter nose. the flavor is of sweet malt that is understated with a peculiar aftertaste. not much flavor in this one and themalt component is too sweet with no hop balance

A pale looking Pilsener. Very high carbonation. Aroma isn’t very fresh, a little musty in fact. Flavour is watery at first, then comes a little bit of dry hoppiness leading to a finish with a bitter edge.

500ml can. Pours straw yellow with a large fluffy/airy white head. Aroma is sweet and grassy. Flavour is of grainy malts and grassy hop. Finishes with grassy hops, mild bitterness. Light body, fairly strong carbonation.

This 12 oz brown bottle has a neck that is embossed with the name Veltin’s on it. The appearance is that of a ubiquitous pale yellow american lager. The aroma is rather spicy and appears to come across like a strong lager. The taste is typical, like many pilsners, has that bitter pilsner bite that is neither hops nor malts. It’s just, you know, annoying. Other than that impression, the brew is crisp and clean. Finish is a medium industrial processed bitterness that hangs for a while on the sides of my tongue.
