A similar story is repeated across all Dutch beer styles. Though there were some differences. Take Münchener, for example. Before the war, it was generally higher in terms of both gravity and ABV than Pils. Not so after the war. The average gravities of Pils and Münchener were identical and, due to the lower degree of attenuation of the latter, the ABV is 0.6% ABV less.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a set of pre-war analyses for the style. I’m basing this mostly on Heineken brewing records. In 1939, their Münchener was 12.59º Plato and 5% ABV, None of the post-war versions can match either figure and most are considerably lower. Only Bavaria’s managed to hit the 5% ABV mark
There’s one real outlier in terms of colour: the beer from Cevelum. It’s just about the colour of a Stout, which seems rather dark for the style.
