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.

Kristall-König (1544) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - JAN 29, 2012
Im Geruch stark nach Gewürzen, Hefe und ein leichter Fruchteinschlag. Startet süßlich-hefig, herb. Mittig weiterhin gewürzbetont, leicht alkoholisch und intensivere Herbe. Im Abgang gewürzig-malzig, alkoholisch. Insgesamt gut trinkbar, streckenweise aber recht turbulent.

Thick frothy while head, amber colour. Wonderful grapefruit, vinous aroma. Tastes sweet, fruity-fresh. Beautifully balanced tasty hop finish. My favourite beer of ZBF2010, still as good from a bottle two years later.

HomeBrewHawk (418) - De Soto, Kansas, USA - JAN 4, 2012
33cl bottle served in a Duvel tulip. Brewed Feb 2010. You could tell there was going to be a lot of carbonation when I popped the cap. Poured a very hazy pale gold with a massive big bubbled white head. Bottle conditioned. Complex aroma with Belgian spice, dark sugar and a little alcohol. Heavier side of medium bodied. Lots of carbonation, fairly dry. Spicy flavor, solid malt base, but not a lot of sweetness. Dry finish. Very drinkable at 10%. Didn’t get a lot of alcohol in the flavor, just a little in the aroma. Good stuff.

ogivlado (4275) - Zagreb, CROATIA - DEC 7, 2011
Bottled 330ml. -at Känguruh, Vienna. Orange coloured, medium sized white head, nice spicy fruity nose. Sweet malty, fruity and alcoholic with pleasant spicy hoppy notes. Nice bitterish and light alcoholic finish. Bit overcarbonated but much better than Extra Export Stout.

jmm635 (609) - Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 7, 2011
Hazy golden color with a massive foamy head. Took the bartender over 5 minutes to pour this beast. Aroma was fairly complex - fruity, yes, but really a yeast bomb. Spicy, distinctly Belgian. Very lively palate and well-hidden alcohol. Nice!

shoulderbroken (351) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - NOV 26, 2011
Bottle at Dulle Griet. Slightly cloudy amber gold colour with big white frothy head. Aroma is very sweet, honey, quite boozy. Taste is honey sweetness with a slight bitterness. Warming and boozy. Quite full bodied. Has the complexity that the Dulle Teve lacks. One of my favourites.
