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.

esox (686) - Oulu, FINLAND - APR 13, 2009
Bottled. A murky orange beer with lots of yeast patricles. The head is huge, rocky and white coloured. I think one third of the beer jumped on the table though I tried to bee careful... The aroma is a delicious mix of spicy yeast, excotic fruits (mango at least), fresh honey and some alcohol. Peppery spiciness and a good punch of herbal hops in the finish. The flavor is dryish and quite bitter all the way. The yeast chareacter is sharpis and very spicy. Honey sweetens the finish with fruity alcohol notes. It is big and lingering. Medium body with and lots of carbonation. Sharp spiciness and alcohol in the looong and lingering finish. Rich, complex, delicious and dangerous it is. What a beer...

Brewed in Belgium...... Wanted to send March out with a bang !!! And this one did not disappoint. Shot out like a volcano and lost over half of the bottle.. Pours a hazy golden color with tons of sediment and a thick white head. Aroma of spices, citrus, oranges and pepper. Taste is of spices, pepper, citrus, vanilla and honey. Mouthfeel has some nice carbonation to it with a slightly dry sourness at the finish.

Bottle. Honey sweet at first, then spicy, ending in a hoppy aftertaste. Pretty strong and with a lot of bubbles. Didn’t expect it to be so good.

fata2683 (2066) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - MAR 27, 2009
bottle, pours a murky yellow brown with a tall white head. Sweet sugary nose with a light spice lingering in the background. Malty body that gives a sourness like orange or lemon zest and fades into a bitter hop and spice finish. Very funky.

Well oops... I didn’t age any of my other De Dolle beers long enough and little did I know this beer, aged two years, wasn’t supposed to be aged. Watch out, its a gusher, pours a murky golden with loads of sediment and a medium white fizzy dense soda head. Sweet candi sugar and juicy hop aroma, orange, vanilla, hint of honey, touch of spices, slightly oxidized. Sweet juicy first taste, oranges, vanilla, lightly spicy, bit of honey, finishing fruity and slightly bitter with a soft note of alcohol and yeast. Quite rich. Sharp fluffy carbonation explodes in the mouth, medium-thick syrupy body.
