Commercial Description:
Boskeun is the nickname of Jo, one of the two brothers who preferred to brew blond beer at home. It is a special Easter beer, one of the first real Belgian Easter beers. (Slaghmuylder's paasbier being first). It has been brewed with pale malt, Golding hops, cane sugar and refermented with native honey. As it is a seasonal beer we suggest not to keep it eternally. The name Boskeun means rabbit of the wood (virgin wood, maybe?) and the label shows it, sampling the last brew.

33cl bottle... a gusher as is typical with De Dolle beers. Bright cloudy amber pour with two finger off-white head. Sour yeasty and summer fruit aromas. Tons of candied sugar, but not cloying. Not as funky as other De Dolle beers, but the abundant alcohol keeps the taste interesting. Definitely better as it warms. I’d serve around 65 degrees. Nice one.

Bottle, into chalice. Pours cloudy gold, with a massive fluffy white head. Aroma is candy sugar, apricot, bit of yeast. Taste is interesting -- intense candy sweetness, spicy, but with a slight mellow hop bitterness on the finish that tends to grow. Dry. The spicyness and hops do a great job of balancing out the sweetness. Finish is slightly bitter, dry after an initial hit of dark fruits and spicy sweetness. Some alcohol too. Great beer from one of my favorite brewers.

Sweet aroma with subtle spices. Almost sticky sweet flavor. Light, tea-like tannins on the finish and aftertaste.

330ml bottle served in a tulip glass. A hazy amber liquid with an orange glow to it topped by a large foamy white head. Smells of banana, candi sugar,lemongrass, and maybe some dried apricot. Has a doughy lemon flavor with alcohol that gets up into your sinus. Finishes dry and nicely bitter. The alcohol and bitterness meld together nicely but alcohol does win out in the end. Overly apparent alcohol as the beer warms is its only major detraction, otherwise it is superb like every other De Dolle beer that I have had.

DFW Tasting 2008. Pours a murky light amber color with decent head. Head more significant in a flute. Aroma of hops, barnyard? and yeast. Flavor was malty goodness with some fruit. Good beer from a good brewer.

DFW Tasting 2008 Thanks to bhops as well for sharing! Very golden light color with a medium white head. Aroma is old church and yeast, flavors are lemon and yeast with a zesty moughfeel. Cheers!
