NULL/Blank Collation after DB restore

If a database's collation is blank under enterprise manager and NULL with SELECT DATABASEPROPERTYEX('<Database_Name>', 'Collation') does this mean it has the same collation as the server?

The reason I ask is that I restored a database with a different collation to my server and so I expected the different collation name to show up.
Its showing as blank though...
I thought databases kept their original collation even if restored to another server.
(The database was restored as a new database).The collation showed up after closing enterprise manager and then going back in.
