This beer has a light yellow body - hue with a bitter initial flavor and a light body.

Bottle. Aroma and taste: hops. Very strong longlasting finish. A very bitter lager, not complex but a challenge.

MartijnVV (33) - NETHERLANDS - APR 7, 2003
very fresh beer... a very well beer for a glass at the balcony after a day working. Bitter, tasty, but not top storng you taste your drinking beer. But after the first impression you start tasting a second taste.. Also very well.It is not a beer for a few, you would start being irritated of the sweet undertaste (strange Heinekenlike Hop) it is a beer to make time for.

jerohen (1793) - Bussum, NETHERLANDS - JAN 27, 2003
UPDATED: JUL 30, 2008 Rating reflects Urtyp-version. Brand Urtyp: Pale yellow, thin lacing. Hoppy aroma. Smooth hoppy and watery taste. The Dutch version of Pilsener Urquell. My absolute favourite everyday-pilsener. Brand UP: I guess changing of the name from Urtyp to UP was accompanied by a change in recipe. The beer seems more one-dimensional and more dry, closer to their regular pilsener. Such a shame. Rating 3.2.

bierkoning (8099) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - SEP 2, 2002
Hoparoma. Hopbitter taste with a hint of orange. One of the most outspoken Dutch pilseners.

skortila (4160) - Baarn, NETHERLANDS - AUG 31, 2002
UPDATED: SEP 22, 2003 bitter hoppy taste, 5,5% pilsener Still it tasts quite light. Somehow a bit of a honey-taste. Refreshing, bitter (like a Brand-beer should be) Rerate: floral and herbal. Now this brew is called 'URTYP'

Oakes (10184) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 23, 2002
UPDATED: AUG 11, 2009 Golden colour. Minimal head. Herbal spicy and mossy hops mix with bready malts on the nose - it’s all very nondescript. Mild palate, with some minty hops and bready malts. Relatively clean and balanced macrobrew, with a mild bitterness. Drinkable.

schuim (36) - NETHERLANDS - NOV 30, 2001
This probably is the best Dutch pilsner. It is for sure the most hoppy one from the large dutch breweries.

The best Pilsener there is!

jbrus (4990) - Delft, NETHERLANDS - SEP 19, 2001
UPDATED: OCT 23, 2003 re-rate 10-19-03: I had to do this re-rate because Brand changed it's recipe and it has been a long while since I rated this one. The change was made to adjust to the flavor of the masses. The typical bitterness is now much less but it gained a nice fruitiness in aroma and flavor which I like a lot. Still bitter but this slowly fades away to the end. Medium body, refreshing and flavorfull. 04-08-99, 3.4:A bit light taste. Finishes very good with a little bitterness.
