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.

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.

Pours a hazy orange with floating bits. Decent head. Aroma of yeast and peaches. After pouring, there was a very thick layer of yeast sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Much more than most. Which would explain the floaty bits. You can really tell the honey notes from the 2nd fermentation with honey. I didn’t think it was as sweet as some raters seem to have thought... Definite sweetness, but it is balanced with the yeast and the hops. Very complex beer. It was $5 for a single, so I’m not sure if I would get it again at that price, but a unique experience (and a great bottle to try and keep for something- trippy lable).
