COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Deep to orange blond abbey triple winterbeer which has been lagered for 8 months on different stonefruits. Tsjeeses was born out of a 5 year brew experience regarding x-mas beer without being capable of finding a suitable name up to now. With the name came a face, a caricature actually, that was drawn on the day Urbain, our brew master and master brewer, drank too many Tsjeeses's. Every time he drinks one, he says "Tsjeeses, what a beer". Therefore the name is more an expression of stupefaction than a curse. We have had already many discussions around the pronounciation of "Tsjeeses". Very close would be that you say "cheeses" or cheese in plural.

kbutler1 (1078) - Minnesota, USA - OCT 15, 2010
Bottle. Pours a slightly hazed orange color with a slight off white head. Good lace as the head settles. Caramel, spice, and a malty nose. Medium mouthfeel. Apricot like fruit like flavors along with some belgian yeast flavors. Lingering bitterness. No real alocohol notes prevalant. Overall, a tasty little beverage.

On tap at Monks Porterhouse. Cloudy orange with a small white lacing head. Citrusy and belgian yeasty aroma with hints of spices. A little acidity. The body is medium. The spiciness builds as you drink the beer.

Countbeer (1686) - Best of Eindhoven ohne Brauhaus, NETHERLANDS - OCT 7, 2010
Bottle: Off white foamy head, disappears quick. A hazy dark orange to brownish amber beer. Smell is fruity with hints of yeast, spices, sweet malts and hint of sour. Taste is fruity and sweet bitter with hints of spices (light pepperish), fruits (banana, apricots), yeast and sweet malty. Light carbonation and a slight warmth of the alcohol. Pretty good beer, but did expect a bit more of this one.

mumares (93) - BELGIUM - OCT 3, 2010
33 bottle. Pours hazy orange/golden with a small head. Aroma is sweet, peach, oranges and spices (nutmeg, clove). Taste is very fruity with some mild spiciness. pleasant mouthfeel with just the right amount of carbonation but I felt the beer is just a bit too simple for me.

lusikka (2062) - Tampere, FINLAND - SEP 25, 2010
330 ml bottle. Rated @ 21.5.2010.
Pours a hazy golden colour with a small, creamy but lasting head. Aroma of apricot, spices and alcohol. Very fruity flavour with mild sourness. Alcohol doesn’t come through too much. Fruity and warming finish. Medium bodied, oily texture and decent carbonation. All in all a bit too straightforward, and lacks character.

Walt (2448) - Austin, Texas, USA - SEP 23, 2010
Pour is hazed murky amber with a dense and tight bubbled off white head...smell is rather pungent with lots of fermenting dough, some grass, and feet...taste is strongly sweet and fruity...apples, pears, white grapes...thick and sticky chewy mouthfeel...strongly chewy booze flavor in the finish...hmmm....

polomagnifico (845) - Saginaw, Michigan, USA - SEP 21, 2010
Bottle 2010. Aroma has notes of fruits, citrus, a little fruity herbal tinge and a Belgian yeast. Murky orange brown hue with an average sized off-white head that mostly diminished and left little lace. Lots of sediment in the pour. Flavor is medium sweet and semi-dry. Palate is full bodied and watery soft. Overall a decent and enjoyable brew. Not offensive in anyway.
