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.

Pour was a hazy orange with a very bubbly white head. Aroma is very bready, but with some light fruity notes. The flavor is very sweet. Hits the spot nicely.

TET (685) - FINLAND - FEB 19, 2011
Orange yellow beer with very big and blond head. Aroma is fruitfull, yeast, spicyness, oranges and a hint of coriander. Lot of carbonation, nice and full-bodied to drink. Taste is full with fructose fruitness, yeast and peppery spicyness. Great beer with lots of aromas and flavours, enjoyable beer.

Very cloudy orange pour with a large, long-lasting, fluffy, white head. Spicy, perfumy yeast character on the aroma along with sweet apple. Medium body, medium-high carbonation, smooth alcohol on the palate, finishes slightly dry. Overall, a very nice Belgian Strong that would taste even better mid to late spring. Will have to revisit this one in April.

Cloudy orange beer, massive towering white creamy head, very stable, adhesive. Aroma: very fruity, peaches, strawberry, on warming up a lot of citrussy hops and yeast, herbal, alcohol. MF: soft carbon, full body, creamy texture, very smooth. Taste: fruity, some sweet malts, some toasted malts, then soft but tasty hops. Aftertaste: somewhat citrussy, long dry bitterness. Amazing good beer, reminding me of the Corsendonck Agnus.

Sweet amber beer. Subtle toffee and banana dominated by a brandyish tone. Dry frothy finish. Better when pretty cold!

Cloudy brown pour with minimal head. Aroma of caramel, apples, light hops and some musty yeast. Flavor is sweet and a bit of tart apples hidden within some nice yeast and wood flavors. Pretty tasty!
