Similar to the regular Brand pilsner. It is slightly sweeter and the hoppy bitterness feels more sophisticated. For a pilsner, this is remarkably good! Worth the extra money.

@Backlog gelig witte kraag, hoparoma, stevig, iets van gemaaid gras, zoetig, bittertje, redelijke smaak

30 cl bottle bought at a local store. This beer is like the normal brand pilsner, but the only difference is the taste, this is more bitter and is slightly sweeter. In my opion one of the best Dutch pilsners.

From tap. A very nice hoppy pilsner.

The "better" version of the Brand pilsner. This one has a smoother mouthfeel, is slightly sweeter, and has less of a corn flavor.

Pours light yellow with a white head leaving little lacing. Nice aroma of some malt and a grassy bitterness. Taste has a nice balance between maltiness and bitterness. One of the best Dutch pilseners.

Clear golden/yellow colour, hoppy sharp smell, bitter hoppy dry aftertaste, a bit sweet

Bottle shared with McTapps. A bit similar to the usual Brand but despite having more alc this one seemed to be a bit watery and with half alc. Too easy, too watery but drinkable.

Bottle bought in the Netherlands. Deep golden colour with low head. Surprisingly mild, creamy and smooth taste of grass, hay, spruce and herbs. But the palate is very bitter, surprisingly. Maybe this beer will be better in summer when it is hot outside and you are longing for refreshment.

#405 Das niederländische Pendant zum dt. Jever: Gute Ansätze, aber letztendlich viel zu bitter, wobei dieses Pils auch noch andere Aromen außer Hopfen freisetzt. Wahrlich nicht übel! Test vom 17.12.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,12,10,10,10,10 - 10,50
