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.

Bottle. 12 oz. Split with James. Pours hazy orange/copper with a nice, foamy white head. Aroma of apricot, pear, barley, bread, and hints of spice. Moderate body. Finish is smooth with a bit of a bite. Very good tripel.

Bottle split with Pat and Sean. Aroma is spice, perfume and some kind of fruit. The taste is really good, simple but extremely well balanced.

Vaiz (1847) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - DEC 21, 2009
Pours a hazy orange color with a white head. Hoppy citrus and orange aroma. Quite fruity bittersweet taste. The alcohol is very well hidden. Quite a good beer. It is however not very outspoken, good, but just not very special.

wimpie133 (380) - Brugge, BELGIUM - DEC 21, 2009
Bottle, 33 cl. Orange coloured beer with white stable head. Smell is fruity, light sweet and malty. The taste is a good mix of malts, light fruity, light sweetness on the background, some spices included with a light hopbitter finish. Also some alcohol noticeable in the taste. Not reallya great taste, but very well balanced and complex beer anyway.

BMan1113VR (6146) - Los Angeles, California, USA - DEC 20, 2009
Expensive little bottle ($9 for a 11.2oz?!). Number 11. Pours with a weird and unattractive muddy golden brown body and a white head. Aroma is nicer than the appearance. Caramel, fruit esters, peaches, nectarines, brown sugar, candi, light spice. Taste of belgian yeast, apricot, decently hoppy/bitter and spicy. Some fruit notes in the finish. Creamy carbonation, nice body and alcohol feel. Interesting take on a tripel.

StinkBall (124) - Asheville, North Carolina, USA - DEC 19, 2009
Very cloudy golden amber with a one finger white head. Can see the spices in the beer floating on the head. Peachy, dark fruit aroma. Spicy flavor. I didn’t like this beer that much.

BelgiskOlklub (728) - Viby J, DENMARK - DEC 18, 2009
Hazy orange body and a small white head. Aroma is fruity and spiced. The palate is warming and powerfull. Dry taste.

Slokop (100) - Tilburg, NETHERLANDS - DEC 14, 2009
Golden pour with a modest head. Firm palate of well chosen bitters. But their carrier is a bit flat. Not much to say about the rest because there is none. I’m underrating or the community is overrating this one.
