Veltins V+ Apple

Brewed by Brauerei C.& A. Veltins
Style: Fruit Beer
Meschede-Grevenstein, Germany

Serve in Flute

Bottled (from mein-biershop.de). Pale golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is artificial apples, some mild cardboard and quite sugary. Flavour is artificial apples, some sweetener (not sugar), and mild grainy notes. Watery.

Clear glass. Nose is heavy Granny Smith apple, sour but somewhat artificial. Pale yellow with green highlights and a white head. Taste is of the same apple, but extremely sweet and leaning toward aspartame toward the end. Crisp light-medium body. I don’t hate this alcopop.

Etwas künstlicher Geruch nach Apfel und Stachelbeere. Im Hintergrund schwach bierig. Antrunk sehr süß, apfelig. Auch weiterhin ein eher künstliches Apfelaroma. Leicht bieriges Ende mit säuerlichem Einschlag. Dünnes und befremdliches Getränk.Test vom 25.3.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche

cloudy yellow, smooth white head. Sweet apple aroma, artificial. Flavor resembles cheap apple cider,

Bottle 33cl. A clear golden beer with almost no head. Nose is on apple skin. Aroma is sweet, fruity with a strange bitterness, bad artificail apple extract.

The bottle looks kiddy-like, the beer in the glass is quite zippy, huge head. Starts very, very sweet, gluey, oily, some sweet fruity notes. Definetely too much sugar!

It is very light golden and the head is huge, white and creamy. The aroma has notes of apple, ginger and beer. The sweet flavor has notes of apple and beer, and the ginger gives a light peppery touch. The overall impression is a little too sweet.

Bottle. Yellow colour with a white head. Aroma is apple, malt. Flavour is apple, malt, sugar, fruit. Not my kind of beer.
