Poured Bos Keun into a Chimay Goblet. The appearance was hazy golden with a nice belgium-style white frothy head. Nice active carbonation which brings about the belgian flavors normally found in a belgian blond.

bottled easter beer consumed at papago 7/8/10...
hazy golden orange color with a monster white head and huge bubbles of foam.
candy and apple cider aroma mixed with yeast, brown sugar, spice and alcohol burn.
lots of cider present in the flavor... along with notes of brown sugar coated nuts, banana starch (not the fruit itself), umami, yeast and a light vinous tartness on the finish.
rich thick texture with a medium-full mouth feel. it borders sweet but not in a bad way. 7/4/7/4/15/3.7
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
bottle poured a golden color with a one finger frothy white head. aroma has honey sweetness, light malt, apple, and light hops. mouth feel is light with lots of carbonation. flavor has some alcohol heat, pale malt, belgian yeast, I get the cane sugar, flowery honey, and some spice. the sweetness is real high here and it just seems to be too dominant in a simple beer like this.

Bottle from Beer Planet, Brussels. Pours a hazy, light nut brown body with a medium white head. Aroma is hazelnuts, honey, molasses, yeast and alcohol. Taste follows steadily; a thick, voluminous palate which I’ve come to associate with the De Dolle style of brewing: nougat, honey and some sour-ish yeasty tones going around as well. A powerful brew, and the boozy notes are quite noticeable, albeit mostly in the warming feeling which increases with each sip. A good beer for sure, but a bit crudely put together and thus not deserving a top notch spot in my book.

Started to creep out of the bottle up on opening. Poured a tarnished muddy mustard with a small fizzy head that initially gave off a sharp carbonic nose. Sweet citrus nose of lime and orange, some dry wood. Juicy citrus up front, sweet maltball middle, dries out quickly in the finish, a bit jagged in the experience, though each part is great.

33cl bottle. Pours a hazy light yellowish color with a huge white head. Good lacing foam. Aroma is simply stunning: strong and intens fruityness (apples and peaches) and funkyness with a decise presence of spices. The funky presence tends to the acidic, remembering of some lambic. The taste is as complex as the aroma: strong funkyness sorrounded by some maltiness and a touch from the hops. The funkyness give a sort of sourness again. Fruity and grassy notes in the background. Hints of alcohol in both aroma and taste. Mostly sweet finish. Palate is full with lots of carbonation. Overall, a splendid and complex brew, remembering of some sours/lambics. Awsome.

Beautiful sunny gold pour is mostly clear, supporting a mountain of dense white foam in my Duvel tulip. Aromas citric herbal yeasty, very fresh and lively. Taste the candy lemon on hops, actually a bit acid, estery banana, some polite elegant alcohol, slightly wild and very vibrant fruit-citrus character with a deeply satisfying feel, you can tell I like what these guys do.
