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.

7.8/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Aged copper orange with a small head. Big dried fruity notes under caramel, toasted malts, a bit of spice. Medium bodied. Finish has some booze and gets a little dry but balanced by spice and malts. Very enjoyable.

8/10
Compared to 2010 this is less dusty and more forward on the vinous grapes. Taste is drier with a bitter bite. Eaters are more balanced.
