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.

Muddy brown/orange beer with a huge candyfloss-like head. The aroma has caramel, banana, berries, malts and alcohol, as a belgian strong is ment to have. The flavor is a little berries and some alcohol - else there is just "beer-flavor"; by which I mean sweetness and malts. Creamy and sturdy body. A nice brew, but there’s nothing new under the sun.

Unclear golden with a fluffy lasting white head. Complex yeast-dominated aroma - banana, lemon, pineapple, bubblegum. Sweet but sharp, leaving a grapefruit-y fresh aftertaste

Pours a muted cloudy golden color. Aromas of sourdough bread, yeast, wheat. Now that you mention it some honey and sweetness comes through in the taste. Slight citrus as well. Balanced by a malty smoothness that adds body and backbone to the beer. Very nice.

Big giant huge head that eventually collapsed into a dollop. Sweet, bready aroma like Bimini bread. Smells a little bit like my grandmother’s house (and yes, I know that doesn’t mean a damn thing to anyone else). Taste is a wallop of sugar and honey with banana Runts. Tends to not hid the alcohol so well. Very dry.

Pours a very hazy golden color, with a thick white lacy head. Alot of babana in the smell with with a hint of flower petals. Very smooth on the taste, with hints of banana. A little sweet, with just slight notes of whiskey in the end. This was the first De Dolle I ever tried and and it made a good impression. Very easy drinking and nice balance.

[bottle] Aroma of fresh green apples, yeast and noble hop spiciness. Pours a cloudy light copper color, with a glorious fluffy, white head. Flavors are quite: fruity (oranges, melon and a bit of banana) and spicy, finishing with some very nice yeast flavors that provide an interesting, odd complexity -- almost woody, in a way. Carbonation is pretty lively. Overall a quirky, interesting brew fron De Dolle.

"Boskeun Speciaal Paasbier". Bottle. Hazy yellow colour with a nice fluffy head. Aroma of yeast and spices and some sourness. Sweet malty flavour with dried fruits, alcohol, bit lemonish, hoppy finish.
