UPDATED: MAY 29, 2007 Gold 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.

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.

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.

UPDATED: FEB 15, 2006 This 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.
