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.

(Bottle). Fruity aroma. Hazy honey amber color with medium head. Flavor is moderately sweet, full of subtle fruits, and with nice well balanced finish.

Bottle. Pour reddish amber with tight bubbly thin head. An alright aroma, really nice yeastiness and caramel feel, a bit spicy. It’s ah-aight.

Tap at Stumbling Monk. Pours a nice amber orange with a decent head. Aroma was fruity with lots of yeasty esters and some fruity malts too. Yeasty and spicy up front. Clove, banana, caramel, toasted malts. Finishes with a pleasant fruitiness. Easy drinking, medium sweet, nice carbonation.

750ml bottle. Refined aroma of burnt toffee, pear, and brown sugar. Poured a clear medium orange color. The head was off white an reduced quickly to a thin film. There wasn’t much lace to speak of. Light to medium bodied, effervescent, and dry. I tasted toffee, clove, and toasted bread. There was also a splash of white wine. Pretty good stuff.

On tap. Nice belgian yeast aroma with spice and a bit of orange. Taste is basically the same with a bit of sweet malt coming through. Almost like a saison style. Good stuff.

4 pack of 12 ouncers. Poured a hazy amber color with moderate head. Almost no lacing as I drank it. Aroma was somewhat sweet (maybe banana). Great flavor with a lingering maltiness. Great beer!

Pours rich honey color with fluffy off white head. Sweet and spicy aroma, maybe oranges and cardamom. The flavor is exemplary belgian. Sweet and yeast with a mellow bitter bite and adequate carb. It’s very well balanced. Some belgians I’ve had lately are very intense and sweet, but this is a little more mellow. VERY nice.

Bottle. Light amber pour with a big white head. Aroma is sweet, a little fruity and typical belgian. Has a strong fruity/alcoholic/bananaeee flavor. This is a good Belgian beer.
