Darker color than most pils. A bit sweet. Aroma is lightly hopped. Low head with fair retention. Flowery aftertaste. A light beer even by Pilsener standards, but most especially by German standards.

Bottle. Great fresh floral hops aroma, a bit lemony and slightly sweet malts. Sparkling pale gold with thin white lacing head. Medium body with medium-high carbonaion. Clean. Start is fine balance of sweet, acidic, and bitterness. Maintains balance through fibish, and leaves a light bitter and crisp after. Very refreshing. One of the best pils I'v tried.

Pretty decent for a basic pilsner. In fact, one of the better ones. Crisp and dry. Nothing too compex, but quite pleasant. Bottle, Hamptons Wine Bar, London W1

Canned. Light gold in colour. Aromas are smoooth grain. Flavours are, er, grain again. This is refreshing and OK. I won't be buying it again though.

Hmmm I guess I am going to have a contrary opinion to the general raters on this one. Appearance ok. Nice bright golden color, clear. Aroma is lightly malty and pleasant. Flavor is light ly malty, sweetish initially and mellow. As it warms it breaks down though. I am not impressed overall..

I wish I could just say "Meh" but you have to have at least 70 characters. I'll just say that this is a typical pilsner. Nothing more. I prefer a tastier beer (lagers, stouts, etc..). This is a pretty good pilsner.

On tap in some pub in Zulpicher Strasse. I love Veltins, it is smooth and insistently tasty, with a flavour that creeps towards bitterness and keeps you hooked. Crisp, and tasty - balanced I'll say.
