Dec 20, 2005 Bottled. Pale golden with a white head. Malty aroma and flavor. Bitterness too in flavor, and of course in the finish. Just another german pilsner. (051209)

Dec 17, 2005 Updated: May 29, 2007Gold with a thick white head and lacing. Aroma comes in waves, with some grass and some light cookie. Fairly sweet with a building bitter finish. A nice example but not stellar. The bitterness and sweet character seem at odds.
2007 I would rate it a little higher on tap.

Dec 13, 2005 Beer no. 11 of my Slovenian beerhunt,
It poured a medium sized fluffy white head that went away fast. Pale golden/yellow colour. Nice aroma of honey, malt and lemon. The taste was quite nice, though it was weak. Fruity malt topped by some bitterish herbal and lemony hops that gave a not unpleasant prickly sensation. Nice chewy, but subdued hoppy aftertaste. A nice little pilsener that could use more body.

Dec 8, 2005 Ten years ago a pallet of Veltins was rescued from US Customs by my local beer distributor, Nicoletti’s. Story was the original buyer did not pay the custom taxes and Nicoletti’s obtained it at a discount. Cases (of bottles) were ten bucks and we bought multiple cases until the deal dried up. I’ve never came across Veltins again until a recent trip to Rockford, IL. Veltins was part of a Cost Plus mixed 12 pack. After popping the cap Veltins had a musty "european" aroma, light yellow color, and crisp flavor. Hey, it’s a classic German pilsner! I believe the flavor that Veltins delivers is what American macros should or may have once been.

Dec 1, 2005 Updated: Feb 15, 2006This is a great pilsner. It pours golden with a decent head. Tastes great and goes down easy. It’s too complex, but worth a try.

Nov 30, 2005 Had it from a can, poured in a glass. Not too bad, but enjoyable? No. Golden coloured standardness.
