COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Met trots presenteert de Brand Bierbrouwerij het frisse pils van hobbybrouwer Marc Vriens. Tijdelijk verkrijgbaar in zeer beperkte oplage. Een pils van constante kwaliteit brouwen is een uitdaging. Hobbybrouwer Marc Vriens ging die uitdaging aan en won de Brand Pilsbrouwwedstrijd. Samen met de brouwmeesters van Brand heeft hij zijn pils bij ons gebrouwen. "Geniet van mijn pils! Het heeft die typische hoppige neus en frisbittere smaak door de juiste balans van aroma- en bitterhop. Door het gebruik van pure zomermout heeft het een mooie goudgele kleur zoals een pils betaamt. Proost!" Marc Vriens, hobbybrouwer.

Benzai (4332) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - NOV 17, 2012
33cl bottle thanks to Dutchdrebus. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Smell and taste malts, some grains, lightly bitter. Nothing special but a decent, solid pilsener.

Martinus (1777) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - NOV 14, 2012
Golden colour, white head. Malty aroma, white bread, toast, light citrus, some fruity notes reminiscent of white wine. Light sweet malty flavour, bitter notes. Light to medium carbonation, lasting quite bitter malty finish.
Fine pilsener, nice initiative.
(From 33cL bottle @ home)

Ober (2763) - Bommelerwaard, NETHERLANDS - NOV 12, 2012
A clear golden/yellow colored beer, with a thick foamy white head. The aroma of maltwith fruits like citrus and hop notes. The taste is malty, dry bitter, with fruits like citrus. The aftertaste is some sweet with a nice bitter. A good example of pils.

BobEvers (179) - NETHERLANDS - NOV 7, 2012
fles 30cl kleur: goudgeel, flinke witte schuimkraag geur: vrijwel geen smaak: licht zoet, licht fruit (grapefruit/lychee), bitter. Weinig nasmaak. Verrassend lekker pilsner

Borresteijn (3644) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - NOV 7, 2012
30cl Bottle from Mitra Heerhugowaard. First of all, great initiative that brought forth this beer, and a really cool label, very reminiscent of Jack Daniels imho. The beer itself: clear pale golden colour, white head. Aroma is not very appealing at first, sulphur, swamp, dry white wine, odd fruitiness, opens up more when the beer warms up. Flavour is light sweet, tiny malt backbone, light floral, nice firm bitter grassy and light herbal finish. Light-bodied. Came across as a typical English Golden Ale with lager yeast, it lacks a whole lot of malt/bread flavours to be really tasty imo.
