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.

Wonderful strong golden ale. Strong but not over powering malitness balanced by a very spicy finish.

33 cL bottle in glass. "Brewed and bottled by DDB 8160 ESEN"; possibly August of 2006? Unfiltered honey color: orange-brown - and cloudy with lots of yeast (and other debris? - looks like cork, but this was a bottle cap!). More flotsam than a few of my home brews that frightened so many! Powdery, lasting head with some crusty lacing. Aroma is caramel alcohol wine. Taste is caramel-honey-alcohol with an excellent toffee prickly-tongue finish. Aftertaste is nice caramel-toffee again, with alcohol breath. Light-to-medium, creamy palate. Pretty sweet beer, both flavor and quality-wise, and I like it. Tastes very similar to the other beers from DDB I have had, but I like this one better, maybe because of the lesser alcohol taste (and lower content).

Bottle: Poured an orangish-red amber with a thick fast acting head. Sweet fruit aroma. At first it has a diffrent kinda bitter fruit tongue, but as it leaves from your buds it has a candy malt finish.

Syrupy malt aroma is slightly sour. Murky brown and orange in color with visible sediment and a huge off-white head. Medium to full palate. Warm and spicey flavors with belgian candy sugar present-not any sour flavors in the taste.

Opaque dark-orange with tall, creamy head that lasts. Aroma of honey, citrus, tomato ragout. Flavor packs a bitter punch with the first sip: big hops, mild sweetness and orange notes. More carbonated than creamy. Finish is bitter and sweet, but alcohol wins out. Strong and difficult.

Bottle. Huge egg white fizzy head. Nice big cloud of yeast, with hue slight amber like. Excellent lacing was displayed. Aroma was the classic De Dolle yeast, with notes of citrus, barnyard, sweat, floral notes, caramel, coriander, peaches and some alcohol. Nice full bodied with a light alcoholic texture and a fizzy carbonation. Dominant flavour is sweet, but some bitterness balances this beer well. Nice fruity sweet and light alcoholic finish. Excellent Easter beer!
