Veltins Pilsener

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

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

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

Clear golden coloured body with a super-thin white head. Aroma of wet dog/wet grass, hay and canned corn. Light-bod; Funky grass taste at first, fading to some malty flavours and a tiny bit of sweeness. Aftertaste fades fast and doesn’t last long...not horrible. Overall, a decent beer - not as horrible as you’d imagine-but not really worth buying. Thanks Jon! I sampled this 33 cL bottle pulled from a ’World’ 12 Pack on 31 May 2005.

Light Yellow/Gold Coloring with White Ring. Sweet Malt and Wheat Aroma. Grains, Sweet Malt. Bit of Cardboard Taste to it. Standard Style of Pilsener.

UPDATED: SEP 27, 2006 buy it in germany!, from the tap ore one a bottle. very well balance! still a privat-brauerei (very rare these days) with a very good product.

I have had one of the Veltins Pils glasses and a bottle opener in my collection for years and never tasted the beer they belonged to, before my wife surprised me with a six pack of this. Poured it into the said glass, a quickly forming dense, soapy white head formed through intermittent and fine bubbles, atop a brilliant pale gold body. Soft, gritty and grainy, chaff aroma with a light mix of honey and leafy, grassy hops (very clean!!!). Creamy and soft in the mouth, lightly soapy without being detrimental. Quite full bodied for its style, a subtle mix of grainy, honey malts,; drying haystack chaff and grassy bitter hops and grain in the back before a short salty? and grainy swallow that really did go down with ease. This wasn’t too bad a pils, or was it that I was thirsty because before I knew it I was reaching for an empty bottle. Easy drinking!!! (33cL, 5.1% ABV, 21/06/06)

A decent pilsner with slightly sweet malts and a pleasantly bitter finish.

can 0,5l bought at Lidl supermarket. lightyellow with white foamy head. aroma: skunky hops, slighly fruity. taste: grain, citrussy hop(but not very bitter), sweetish. finish: fruity and bitterish, fairly long. soft texture, average carbonation. not bad.

11.2 oz bottle. Dig the raised letters on the brown glass bottle, but not enough to award a bonus point. Clear pale yellow beer, thin head. Clean and mild to taste light body; lots of bittering hops, little to no residual malt sweetness, surprisingly soft texture. Loved this beer back in the Berlin days, good to find it for sale in the US.
