33 cl bottle. Amber colour, minimal white head. Aromas of malts and some alcohol. Taste is subtle sweet in the beginning, malts, ending in some bitterness. Medium body. Average beer, taste is Very similar to a normal pilsener

Fijn tussendoortje, met in balans zijnde bitter-zoet verhouding in smaak en geur. Ondanks raad op het etiket, drink wat warmer dan 4 tot 6 graden.

Transparant with ruby-red color. Smells like pilsener but sweeter. Taste is a good combination of sweet and bitter.

Nice clear sort of amber colored beer. The rest was pretty average. No weird things, just a decent but ordinary beer.

Bottle. Clear amber/orange with medium off-white head. Flavour is malt, caramel, fruit, hops, little bitter and a little sweet.

Just an average beer. Not really special. Easy to drink and easy to forget.

Modriger, etwas verwässerter Malzantrunk. Die Intensität bleibt, das Aroma wird aber zunehmend trockener und bietet auch auf Dauer nichts Neues. Eintönig getreidig-malzig mit deutlicher Wässrigkeit, minimal karamellig. Der Hopfen zeigt sich in der Trockenheit, kommt aber aromenmäßig nicht zum Vorschein. Kurzer Abgang. 7/6/6/5/7/5

Brand Imperator.. I like this one more than the regular Brand. The glass looks like a cognac glass mixed with a Palm glass. Colour is amber with a nice white firm head. The nose has a bit of alcohol, wich is strange for the 6,5%. The taste is sweet, with the typical Brand bitternes at the end. You can find hints of honey in the flavour. Brand Imperator is a nice seasonal beer in between the ’winter’ beers and the ’spring’ beers.
