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.

GTAEgeek (438) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - AUG 8, 2011
On tap at the Brick Store Pub. Pours a clear yellow with a medium white head. The aroma is oranges, vanilla, and molasses. The flavor is very sweet with a pleasant bitterness in the background. The palate is heavy, creamy and smooth. Clean finish, and little aftertaste. Overall, this is a good, easy drinking, and very delicious pale Belgian Ale.

pilgrimoutlaw (273) - Wayne, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 8, 2011
On tap at TJ’s. Pours clear orange with white head. Aroma of honey, lime, earth/basement. Cloyingly sweet. Has a long trailing finish that irritated my palate. Maybe I’m allergic to one of the ingredients. Definitely not my cup of tea.
