Een ode aan de oersmaak van pils. Dat is Brand Up, of Urtyp Pilsener. De krachtige hopsensatie, speciaal met Saazerhop uit Tsjechië, begint achter op de tong, waarna de lange, frisse nasmaak je hele mond verlicht. Dit bier komt het dichtst bij het oorspronkelijke pilsrecept uit 1842, ja ook toen wisten ze ’t goeie leven al goed te vieren.

Tasted as Brand Urtyp years ago, rating from old notes. Clear pale golden blonde, frothy snow white head, good fizz. Malt sweet character, grainy and a bit bready, bit metallic, with some grassy hops in the finish establishing a subtle bitterness. Not great and not on the same level as the best actual Bohemian Urtyps, but clearly of better and more ’pure’ quality than the regular Brand Pilsener and to be preferred over most other Dutch macro lagers.

Fresh hoppy nose. Clear pale golden colour, good frothy white head, nice lacing. Aroma pilsner malt, grain, grass. Smooth taste, medium bitter and light sweet, grain, grassy hops. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation, long mild bitter finish. Consider this as one of the best Dutch pilsners, though I think that before Heineken took over it was better.

Bottle from Jan Linders, Eindhoven, on December 13, 2014.As I can remember the bottle only had a neck label, from which I wrote down "Brand Up Urtyp Pilsener" at 5.5% ABV, this entry looks to be that one though.Clear straw yellow color, fluffy white head. Malty, grainy scent. Malty, a bit hoppy taste. Bitter aftertaste. Weak thin mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Very pale straw colour. Clear. Foamy white head. Moderate hop aroma. Good hoppy bitterness in taste and aftertaste. A very decent pilsener. A bit waterish mouthfeel. Good drinkability.

Tap. Clear golden with small white head. Light spicy, some malts and grass, light apricot jam. Light bodied. Pretty decent for a macro lager.
