3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Boskeun on väriltään ns. amber. Sen vaahto on valkoinen, runsas ja saippuaisen paksu. Tuoksultaan olut on hedelmäinen, hiivainen ja yrttinen. Maku on makea, mangomaisen hedelmäinen, mausteinen ja hiivainen. Melko runsas ja lämmittävä olut.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Slightly hazy golden with some floaties and a foamy white head. Aroma of green apples, orange peels, sugar and zesty spices. The flavor is sour, green, jolly ranchers with some spice and musty yeast. Medium body with active carbonation and a dry finish. Interesting beer, it’s enjoyable but can’t say I’d buy this again.

Of course I waited until Easter. Hazy golden blond with a lasting white head. Apple like nose. Dry flavors of sweet malts and pears, cider like with honey. Alcohol burn. This is worth waiting for a holiday to drink.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle picked up at State Line. Served in a snifter.
Pours a light peach color with a ridiculously long-lasting white head. Pretty bubbly with some nice streaky lacing. the nose is yeasty with a bit of spice and fruit; maybe some pear. The taste is quite yeasty with some mild spice and a bit of light fruit. There is green pear and some stone fruits. The nose is slightly buttery as it warms. Not diacetyl--it’s more of a chardonnay-type butter character. The taste is pretty good but drops off from the nose. Dry spice takes over in the finish. Drinks pretty well, though isn’t quite the top 50 Belgian beer I had hoped for.

3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
11.6 ounce bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar ($5.59). Purchased a year ago...it’s not quite Easter yet but I thought I’d pop this one open. Pours a dark burnt orange hue with a truly gigantic white head and great retention -- seriously, it took me a long time to pour the whole thing into the tulip. Aroma is kind of weak but has notes of some light fruit (grape), musty bread, caramel, and yeast. Flavor is quite a bit better than the nose with caramel, honey, apple, grape, bready malts, light banana, light bubblegum, and light spice. A good level of sweetness that fades nicely into the finish. The 10% is quite well hidden. I am not sure what an Easter beer should be, but this is certainly enjoyable. (701, 510)
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle (2/2010 bottling)... Poured hazy golden/amber with a thick, fizzy, off-white head. The nose had so much yeast esters on it, like fruit juice. The palate was bone dry. Super carbonated, a little bit of a skunky tone, still floral, cereal grains, citrus, apple juice/martinelli’s, and a mild bitterness. I’d say the hops were still going strong. Mild alcohol burn, and loads of yeast spices, esters and drying finish.

330 ml bottle.
Pours a dark hazy orange colour with a medium-sized white head. Aroma of very strong, real tropical fruits with some hop bite. Flavour of strong sweet fruits, hops and sweet malts. Full bodied with a thick fruity mouthfeel. Burning alcohol finish. Very good.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
330ml bottle from Bierkompass
Pours orange with a white head. Fruity aroma with hints of spices. Taste is spicy. Alcohol burns through way too much. Long lasting finish.
