Huisbrouwerij Den Tseut
Microbrewery
in Oosteeklo,
East Flanders,
Belgium 🇧🇪
Associated Venue: Huisbrouwerij Den Tseut
Established in 2008
Oosteeklo.
De naam "den Tseut" verwijst naar de spotnaam van de Oosteeklonaren, de varkens.
Oosteeklo is een varkensgemeente en Den Tseut is het dialect voor varken.
We zijn gestart in juni 2008, dan is ons 1ste biertje gebrouwen, ons huisbier Den Tseut.
Het brouwen zit bij mij in het bloed, mijn beide grootvaders waren actief in de brouwsector.
Mijn ene grootvader was brouwer bij Van Hoorebeke in Assenede, de ander was aan de slag in de mouterij te Boekhoute.
Ikzelf heb een opleiding gevolgd aan de Hoge School te Gent en slaagde er met grote onderscheiding.
Zo heb ik thuis mijn installatie zelf ontworpen.

Den Tseut’s second beer since 2008, typical Belgian dubbel, also tasted as Beremietje Donker in Ertvelde’s former Biermuseum. Irregularly shaped, moussy, pale yellowish beige, slowly dissipating head over a cloudy chestnut brown beer wit mahogany reddish hue. Aroma of caramel, candied date, ripe banana, coriander, gingerbread, brown sugar, apple sauce, stewed beef (this beer is clearly teeming with proteins), dough, cocoa, pineapple. Sweet onset with slightly sourish edge and light umami accents, lots of fig, banana and overripe peach, a bit overcarbonated to the point where it becomes slightly numbing, slick caramelly malt sweetness in the middle, light toasted accent, herbal and earthy hop bitterish touch in the end but the brown sugar sweetness overlying the whole beer sticks a bit in the throat. Sweet-accented, classically designed Belgian dubbel, made interesting by these unintentional proteins lending it a somewhat ’beefy’ character.

Bottle bought online. Another Tseut beer, this time a classically intended Belgian honey beer. Thickly ’papery’ lacing, dense and moussy, off-white head over a peach blonde beer with salmon pinkish hue, clear but ’obscured’ by a fog of yeast particles. Aroma of lots of green banana, yellow plum, yellow raisins, honey indeed but not overpowering, biscuit, orange flesh, white pepper, mandarin, fresh peach, meringue, sweet red apple or overripe pear, apple sauce, amaretto, dough, white rum, some vague tropical flowers, cinnamon and grass. Fruity onset, very estery but not out of control, sweet banana, peach and pineapple along with a deeper gooseberry sourishness, medium to sharpish carbonation but not really ’numbing’, smooth and full malt sweetness, caramelly and bready adorned with honey sweetness and ongoing fruity esters as well as some spicy phenols, leading to a sweetish but warming finish of persisting malt sweetness, yeast bitterness, some earthy and spicy hops providing a quite long lasting, resinous bitterness and a fair amount of warming, yet ’unastringent’, white rum-like alcohol. Quite okay, this one; very cliché Belgian honey beer in the league of e.g. Barbar Blond or Bieken, but doing well in comparison with those classics. May be too sweet for some, but it does show a certain depth and I cannot find any technical flaws in the style of DMS, H2S, DMTS and the like. Sweet and anything but exciting but surely decent.

Limitedly produced burnet beer (a herb) for art gallery manager Pim De Rudder, a local celebrity in Assenede, hence the use of the burnet herb, the Dutch name of which is pimpernel. Thanks to Craftmember for bringing me this bottle straight from said art gallery. Paradoxically, the label states on the one hand that it can be kept till 2031 if stored cool, dry and stable, and on the other hand ’beperkt houdbaar’, which means it has a limited shelf life... An apt illustration of the fact that Belgian laws regarding shelf life are unrealistic when it comes to most beers I suppose, but anyway. Medium thick, moussy, off-white head retaining well on the edges and as a thin, light greyish veil over the liquid’s surface; hazy peach blonde robe with orangey hue, turning a bit darker and even more cloudy with deposit, as can be expected - becoming completely murky in the very end (puddle water). Aroma of overripe persimmon and papaja (with the same kind of weird ’smokiness’), soapy wheat, peach, cooked chicken, stewed apple, onsetting oxidation (wet paper), sweet pickled gherkins (which could represent the burnet), iron, hints of steamed white cabbage (but not in the DMS way), sweet red curry, honey, mouldy orange, urine, cooked rhubarb with brown sugar, hint chamomille. Sweet onset, vanilla sugar or honey even, with fruity notes of overripe pear, peach and mango, soft carbo (in fact a tad undercarbonated for this particular style, in my opinion), soft gooseberry and rhubarb sourishness underneath which manages to persist till the very end; very supple, light, sweet and slick middle phase, honeyish malt sweetness accentuated by residual sugar, caramelly touch as well as soft, soapy wheat malt presence; the burnet, already a subtle aromatic herb when fresh, seems to add some retronasal nutty and floral accents. Hops are clearly reduced to a minimum, just a subtle floral effect is there, but hardly any bitterness at all to counter this honey sweetness which bothered me already from the start. The result is that a slick, resinous, cloying sweetness remains in the back of the mouth after swallowing, and even a vague echo of ’young jenever’-like alcohol can be felt, fortunately not in an astringent way. There is something urine-like in the aroma, a kind of vague, ’stinky’ sourishness amidst all the stewed fruit and rhubarb-with-sugar sweetness, and this unpleasant effect does not do this beer any good; with the head largely reduced after a while and the deposit added, it looks like some home-made pear juice, lacks body due to undercarbonation, and the taste is clearly much too sweet, teeming with unfermented sugars and insufficiently hopped even for an ordinary ’Belgian blonde’. Comes across as very amateuristic, and even though Den Tseut is a small and fairly ’unambitious’ home brewery, I had beers from them which performed a lot better. Probably past its prime, granted, but I cannot imagine this having been a great beer to begin with. Funny label with Pim’s face on it and all those fake hop variety names, though...

Bottle shared with Deanso as ’t Wijveken with ABV of 5.5%. Firstly I must say that the label features a charming picture of a smiling old lady with a beer and an equally smiling pig. Winner there.

Medium bodied with light carbonation.

Thank you! Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ Kerstbierfestival Essen 2015. Bottled during October 2015 according to the booklet. Very hazy brown, little head. Nose is alcoholic sweet dough, sugar, esters, yeast, candy. Taste is yeasty, basic sweet sugar, dough, lots of sweet dough, light candy, basic brown & dash of exotic sugar. Doughy & yeasty body. Very similar akin to basic sweet dough, okay but nothing that excel. Agreeable basic overly typical brew.
