Veltins Helles Lager
Veltins Helles Lager was introduced in spring 2024 as a milder counterpart to the brewery's Pilsener. It is a bottom-fermented, filtered full beer brewed with freshly harvested hops rather than hop extract. It pours crystal-clear, bright golden yellow under a fine head. Malt aromas lead the nose, with only a gentle hop note. On the palate fresh hop touches meet a light malt body and a barely noticeable bitterness, and the finish is finely carbonated and clean.
