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.

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.

I thought this was great - bottle from Morry’s of Naples. Really full amber body: tart brown sugar, dark (but not overripe) fruit, hops are surely present and balanced well. Very nice Belgian specemin.

Orange amber pour, nice appearance to it. Has some fruit in he nose. Yeasty and spicy. Medium body. Real good mellow flavor. If you’re looking for something that is not too strong but is packed with flavor than this is it.
