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.

A very easy drinking beer. Pours a relatively light amber color with a generous off white head and a bit of lacing. It really does have a great look to it. Aroma was faint but pleasant - that of subtle hops with a sweet spiciness to it. There’s not a ton of flavor but it’s good for the summer. Somewhat spicy, with floral notes, a mild bitter hop bite and some Belgian style yeast. Very smooth and a pretty good mix of flavors.

Bottle. Pinkish golden color. Apricot and a hint of caramel in the aroma and flavor. Some flowery hops, cookies. Maybe a bit thin. Nice fruity amber ale without any specific character.

12oz bottle, pours a cloudy burnt orange with a billowy off white head. Nose is similar to a saison, slightly sour and yeasty with hints of spice. Palate starts off spicy but unfortunately goes nowhere, very flat and watery. Strange and somewhat dissapointing. Finishes with a light hop kick and a very light sourness. Bland with a suprisingly thin and watery body.
