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. Aroma of sour fruit, yeast, spice (coriander?). Hazy, light gold amber color. The head went like it never was. Starts with caramel malt. Medium body, virtually no carbonation. Warming alcohol. Slightly sour stone fruits, perhaps with a little citrus. The hop doesn’t seem to come through. There’s enough sugar to offset the sour. It’s really refreshing. Wonder of wonders it finishes rather dry. A little astringent in a woody way. I’d say it’s complex. Rerate on 05/29/2008 at Poechenellkelder. Much the same rating. This is a spicey ale to die for.

[Sampled at DØE-festival, Valby, 2007 with svoger.] A true dolle-brew with the easy recognizing dolle-yeast. Clear orange look with heavy amounts of bubbles. Seems to be sticky at the tongue, which later also was the fact. Aroma of fruit, yeast, alcohol and with a nice head. Flavor is similar, wellbalanced beer, alcoholic, but not as expected as it is 10 %. Good to food also

Pours clear yellow with enormous, frothy off white head that lasts forever. Nose is cream, honey, allspice. Flavor of honey, allspice, cinnamon, alcohol. Very strong alcohol bite that is kind of unpleasant, but the warming effect is nice. Slight flowery hops flavor towards the end.

Bottled, at Københavnske Øldage. Unclear, golden-orange beer with a white head. Coriander, candisugar, wheat and malt in the aroma. Spiced and sweet flavor with some alcohol and wheat. Full and sweet in the mouth. Long finish with alcohol, spices and wheat. Nice one from Dolle. (070511)

Bottled. Hazy pale nutbrown colour, mediumsized creamy/foamy off-white head. Aroma is sweet grass, spices and some wheat. A lot of caramel malts too. Flavour is yeast, spices, fruity hops and caramel malts. Once it gets warmer a lot of fudgeish hints along with pepperyness. Really nice thing.

12oz bottle. Pours clear golden with a huge white head. Great aroma of candy, wheat, raisins, fruit, white chocolate, sweet and appetizing. Taste is not quite as good as the smell. Has the familiar Belgian strong taste that I get from some other golden Belgians like Piraat. Tastes kind of meaty, tart, metallic, and bitter. A little bit of alcohol. Pretty good.
