Veltins Pilsener

Brewed by Brauerei C.& A. Veltins
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Meschede-Grevenstein, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

Label proclaims this as a "German Pilsner Beer", but it’s a pilsner like Miller Lite’s a "true pilsner beer". Clear dull yellow color, moderate white head. Aroma: dry, vegetal, flat, hints of corn, flinty, and overall off-putting to this nose. Absolutely no body, texture, nil, nothing, nada. Not a single bit of taste to be accounted for. It passes through you, without a trace of it having been on your tongue at all.

Bottle - the only aroma that I get is green bottle funk. Horrible, but probably not the brewer’s fault. Looks like Bud Light. Malty flavor, but the stink still comes through. Something comes through in the aftertaste ... hops, I guess. Decent mouthfeel, slight fizz. Terrible overall, but likely an unfair rating. It will have to stand for now, though.

A good beer for an evening. I drunk it on a party at my brother in law Hubert.

Light golden color with a white head. The taste is the typical grassy hops with malty earthy notes with metallic and watery finish. Boring.

A yellow beer with a huge white head. The aroma is malty yet sour and the flavor is plain malty while the body is thin. Not a bad beer, just boring.

Bottle pours translucent straw, small white pancake batter like head, decent lacing, with soft carbonation.   Aroma is very European Pilsnerish, the slight skunk, grass, and straw.   Very consistent straw/grassy taste I have come to expect from this style.   Slight pear tinge too.   Finishes clean with a slight hop bitterness at the finish.   Not bad!

From the Sharp Edge Beerfest oh my god... i found a pleasent european pilsener... good clean crisp taste, a pleasent nose and didn’t really remind me of any of it’s cousins

Straw color, heavy skunky and hoppy aroma. The taste was bland and pitiful with a horrible palate. I ate a few jalepaenos to make it go away.
