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.

l1br4r14n (451) - Rancho Cucamonga, California, USA - APR 18, 2010
Pours a hazy orange with a huge frothy white head. Aroma is apple, yeast, sweet malt, a little citrus. Flavor is a bit sugary, honey, light fruits, and spice. A delicious brew, even if the carbonation is over the top.

wimpie133 (380) - Brugge, BELGIUM - APR 13, 2010
UPDATED: APR 22, 2011 Tap, 25 cl. Lively ambergolden beer with beautiful white head. Aroma is between hoppy and sweet, with some honey and peach in the nose. Taste is fruity, peach, light sweet, and light hopbitter at the end. Nice beer, but not a top beer, as we are used to from "De Dolle Brouwers". (3,5/5) Re-rate Version 2011, bottle 33 cl. The beer differs in the way the peach notes in aroma and taste are more or less gone. In the taste there is a nice balance between the (nice) sweet taste of cane sugar and malt with the hops, giving a light bitter aftertaste to the beer. The flavours are running beautifully in each other, and it is clear the 2011 version is a much better version of the 2010 version.

Damico (1222) - Royersford, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 4, 2010
Bottle aged one year from Capones. The deep refermented honey aroma fills the nose with a beautifully sweet aroma. The deep honey orange sunset color is complemented by a mammoth foamy head snaking along to the middle as if it were straight out of an ad. The sweet flavors on top of that Belgian strong ale manage to go down so smooth for an ABV of 10. Absolutely delicious.

NoiZe (2325) - Amersfoort, NETHERLANDS - APR 4, 2010
Cloudy orange colored brew. Huge head, lot’s of carbonation. Too much, *burp*. Aroma is sugary and fruity. Flavor is fruity, yeasty and light sour.

SaintMatty (2645) - Uppsala, SWEDEN - APR 4, 2010
330ml Bottle - Amber with a foamy head. Extremely lively and difficult to pour. Fairly aromatic with hints of peach, passion fruit and honey. Slightly sweet taste with notes of peach and honey followed by a bittersweet and fruity finish.
