This Pilsener beer has been my favortie ever since. First it was called Up52 later just UP. Even though the bitter character of the beer has been diminished now that it is called UrTyp, it’s become maybe even better than before. Frsh tasty hoppy and strong bitter. Nicely poored out in long glass stylish glass.

The Brand Brewery has change the name of the beer back to BRAND UP.
Great! Must dryer/bitter and less fruity.
A nice bitter after taste.

It’s one of my favourites.
It’s based on the earlier pilsener beers from Plzen

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.

This probably is the best Dutch pilsner. It is for sure the most hoppy one from the large dutch breweries.

UPDATED: MAY 12, 2012 Golden orange pour, medium head.Aroma of some malts and lovely czech hops.Flavour consists of a rather bitter hoppiness, for a pilsener at least. Even the after taste hands out some hops. Awesome pilsener.

Brand UP might be the best mainstream beer you can find on tap in non-beerknurd bars. This Urtyp Pilsner (UP!) has been brewed since 1952 in Wylre, Limburg. After takeover by Heineken it was temporarily sweetened, but this ill-fated decision has fortunately been reversed. It is a very clean, crisp German style pilsner with a bit fuller body and bitter aftertaste. These qualities and 5% ABV make it a very pleasant session beer. It is being marketed as the "classy" beer now by Heineken, so the places who have it on draught are the better bars and restaurants.

Good bitter pilsner with lots of hops. Very pleasant mouthfeel, taste of mout, hop and aftertaste nicely bitter.
