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.

Foams quickly out of the bottle to produce a murky brown-orange body with a light khaki colored head. Aroma is dulled yeasty esters, caramels, dried fruit, lightly spicy. Taste is sweet, caramel, fruits, raisins, apparent alcohol, spicy yeasty estery finish.

This is not a Christmas beer, this is simply a good beer. Fruit comes in first. things like apricot and other dried summerly one, orange peels a little bit. Afterwards a nice hop comes and stays in the mouth for a while. Now I wish I could taste the reserva!

Bottled 33cl. A fantastic beer throughout. Hints of jasmine and ginger. Mindblowingly good hop profile. I reveled in every sip.

eManu (371) - Kuala Lumpur & Brussels, BELGIUM - DEC 30, 2009
Pours an orange color with lots of yeast chunks and a nice off-white head. Aroma is very fruity, malts and yeasts, even a little champagne-like aroma. Flavors is again very fruity, raisins and grapes, herbal, yeast, honey and spices. Low carbonation, creamy and very smooth, good sweetness and bitterness. This is a very complex brew, lots of strong aromas and flavors, with a long lasting taste in mouth. This is really great Xmas brew, a great way to end your winter day.

A hazy light amber coloured ber with small white head and medium carbonation. A fruity yeasty aroma mixed with some hops. Full bit sparkling palate. Finish is bitter, bit roasted ending with an alcoholic touch.

DYCSoccer17 (2734) - Woodland, California, USA - DEC 24, 2009
11 ounce bottle purchased at the Davis Food Co-Op. Aroma is grassy, herbal, with some yeast esters present. Almost smells like theres a little funk or barnyard in there. Fair enough aroma. Transparent golden body with a small, quickly dissipating whitish head. Starts pretty chewy, and stays thick and chewy throughout. A bit buttery with a lot of doughiness. Some spiciness is also present. A bit of an herbal, spicy, grassy hop bitterness to finish. Ethanol is hidden rather well. This is above average, but nothing mindblowing. Certainly not worth the $7+ I paid for this.
