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.

(Bottled, 0.75l) Hazy amber with a medium, lacy head. Very fruity aroma with tart hints. Yeasty-fruity, neutral-malty, peppery-spicy flavor with a hint of acidity. Medium-bodied with slightly foamy carbonation. A balanced and spicy, true-to-the-style Belgian Ale.

Rare Vos pours a hint of orange. There is some fruit in the smell. It is a crisp taste of spice.

Bottled
Hazy orange color, small beige head. Fruity, yeasty aroma (peach, grapes, banana). Crisp, foamy carbonation. A bit alcoholic and spicey. Quite typical Belgian strong ale made in USA: yeasty and fruity.

3/28/08 notes: bottle. Pours a clear golden amber. Head is short lasting and small. Strong carbonation. Flavor is a nice mixture of honey, yeast, nutmeg, cinnamon, and some fruit. Finish is dry, a mellow blend of flavors. Overall, solid and interesting, but I don’t understand the huge carbonation.

Slightly cloudy light amber beer with a medium sized bubbly head. Quite weak aroma, tangerine, lemon, coriander and a touch of nutmeg. Sweet clean flavour with malt and citrus. Unspectacular but a very pleasant drinker.
