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 in the bottle. It's a seasonal beer, so 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.

Been a long time since I've had one of these. My puppy is to sell all of their beers and I had reviewed all of them here. Now all my reviews are gone. Typical. Anyway this beer is better than my memory of it. Very well-balanced smooth well made Belgian golden ale.

Bottle. Relatively clear blonde, moderate fine head. Nose a bit like a champagne-beer hybrid, slight caramel with good sparkly dry wine notes. Honey comes on strong in the flavor, very fine-bubbled big mouthfeel. Flowery citrus-like notes, and nice bitterness that comes off a bit like a dry white. Great yeast overtones as it warms up in the glass.
