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.

Bottle at home ... Golden orange ... very lumpy ... Big foam head ... light fruity hop nose ... little warming on way down ... some grapefuit hop just a little sour ... milt bready tones ... just not working for me.

Habanero (1096) - Tranbjerg, DENMARK - MAR 19, 2008
Bottle, pours with a hazy, orange body and a huge white head. Good lacing. Nose of spice, yeast and light roasted malt. The flavour is sweet with citrus fruit and notes of coriander and yeast. Full bodied. It has a slightly alcoholic finish. An interesting brew.

Blom (778) - Odense, DENMARK - MAR 18, 2008
2 year old version (vintage 2006). Hazy orange with a firm head and good lacing. Weak sweet aroma of honey and peach. The flavours are spicy with notes of orange peels, yeast, hay and some dry bitterness. No alcohol present, it has aged very nicely!!

hapjydeuce (854) - San Diego, California, USA - MAR 4, 2008
Bottled, at The Stuffed Sandwich in Temple City, CA. Gusher upon opening. I guess I was supposed to bring my own glass; using the provided paper Dixie cups...weak. Massive beige head that overflows each pour, way too much carbonation here, but it sure does look good. Average aroma of dates, dark grape, and clove. Lots of dark fruits, notably raisin, in the flavor. Finishes with a bit of spiced caramel and mild yeast tones, with an alcohol and fruity phenol nose.

Bontus (481) - Waasmunster, BELGIUM - MAR 2, 2008
UPDATED: DEC 8, 2008 Zythos Bierfest. On tap. Appearance is hazy, smell of herbs. Perfumed spicy aroma. Flavor is mainly bitter. Medium to high carbonation.

grimreeser (797) - Minnesota, USA - FEB 29, 2008
Pours a cloudy orange golden with a good sized white head. Aroma is floral with some yeast. Decent flavor, but something here I just don’t like.

kmeves (1098) - Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA - FEB 17, 2008
Hazy orange gold color with a huge cloudy head that stays all the way to the end and lacing. Aroma is lightly hoppy with a citrus spice character and just a bit of dough. Flavor is sweet with fruit and candi sugar with a well hidden alcohol background. Finishes long, fruity and zesty with carbonation.

grikmok (132) - Little Rock, Arkansas, USA - FEB 14, 2008
Poured to a murky beer that emitted aromas of alcohol. Initial flavor was yeasty and the finish was slightly bitter. Complex beer.
