Commercial Description:
Rare Vos is flemmish for "Sly Fox," and the name of one of Brussels’ great cafes. It has a sweetly fruity malt character and yeasty spiciness. A fine dose of yeast permits the beer to mature and mellow in the bottle.

Pours a dark orange with a fluffy head that retains well. Nice spicy Belgian aroma. Nicely carbonated. Tastes of malt, hops, corrieander and spice blend well. Nice bittering and dryness on the back side. Happy 50th to me!!!

Pours a light golden amber with a thin though lasting head. Aroma was toasty malts, caramel, candied oranges. Flavour was yeasty/bready with light nutty roasted tones. Fruity and light spice finish.

750 ml bottle that I received as a Christmas gift from my friend Russell. Pours a cloudy golden brown with a moderate off-white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left sparing lace. Mild aroma of malt, brown sugar, and yeast. The flavor is malt, yeast, and some mild orange and lemon. Somewhat dry as this beer finishes. Effervescent and a bit spritzy on the tongue. An ok beer, although not something I would seek out on a regular basis.

Bottle to chilled mug. Very nice golden yellow with a nice head. good begian ale flavor. I drank this while working with some spanish cedar in the basement. I dont know if woodworking is supposed to complement a beer but it did

330 mL. Pours a hazy light orange with a modest white head that settles down. Aromas of bread, light fruits, bitter orange. High carbonation. Taste is fruity and yeasty but little sour with a dry, metallic aftertaste. Overall lackluster.
