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.

reakt (946) - Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 6, 2007
UPDATED: OCT 2, 2007 bottle from the rake. Hazy wheat in colour with a decent white head. Loads of honey sweetness in the nose with citrus notes. The taste is almost overwhelmed by burning alcohol and is a bit too sweet - cane sugar, honey, fruits and spices are still very noticeable. Buttery finish with alcohol and sweet malts
*Re-rate - Pours amber with an orange/ tangarine nose, some vanilla hints. Sweet and spicy with notes of yeast, honey, corriander and a touch of malt. Much enjoyed.

Sofajoern (146) - DENMARK - APR 5, 2007
Nce hazy, pale orange colour with big and lasting head. Yeast and mild citrus fruits in the aroma. Nice smooth mouthfeel and a quite complex taste of fruits, coriander, and alchohol. Quite malty finish.

Carl99Fan (187) - Suwanee, Georgia, USA - MAR 24, 2007
Enjoyed at Taco Mac in Suwanee GA. Poured from a bottle. Blonde color with a huge head. Medium, bitter taste..somewhat spicy. I did enjoy it very much though. Didn’t taste like ABV of 7% at all, but could tell higher content once I got finished 2/3 of glass.

Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - MAR 18, 2007
The head is very nice on this hazy, straw colored beer. The aroma has notes of yeast and fruit, the mouthfeel is smooth. It’s a very exciting and complex flavour with notes of fruit, yeast, smoke, licorice, sweetness and bitterness. This Easter beer is truly wonderful!

Wonderful strong golden ale. Strong but not over powering malitness balanced by a very spicy finish.

nearbeer (2572) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - MAR 10, 2007
33 cL bottle in glass. "Brewed and bottled by DDB 8160 ESEN"; possibly August of 2006? Unfiltered honey color: orange-brown - and cloudy with lots of yeast (and other debris? - looks like cork, but this was a bottle cap!). More flotsam than a few of my home brews that frightened so many! Powdery, lasting head with some crusty lacing. Aroma is caramel alcohol wine. Taste is caramel-honey-alcohol with an excellent toffee prickly-tongue finish. Aftertaste is nice caramel-toffee again, with alcohol breath. Light-to-medium, creamy palate. Pretty sweet beer, both flavor and quality-wise, and I like it. Tastes very similar to the other beers from DDB I have had, but I like this one better, maybe because of the lesser alcohol taste (and lower content).

SHIG (2530) - Osan, SOUTH KOREA - MAR 6, 2007
Bottle: Poured an orangish-red amber with a thick fast acting head. Sweet fruit aroma. At first it has a diffrent kinda bitter fruit tongue, but as it leaves from your buds it has a candy malt finish.

Bart (2332) - Brussels, BELGIUM - MAR 4, 2007
Hazy blond coloured with a small white head. Fruity(little banana and coriander hints) sweet palate. Full palate. Finish is yeasty and fruity, sweet alcoholic.
