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. High fluffy but lasting off-white head. Hazy orange body. Herbal hay aroma plus a faint note of soap. Mild and fruity flavor without much hops bitterness but with some spices I cannot quite figure out. General impression is that it feels a bit anonymos. Relatively high carbonation and a short aftertaste.

Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours a great orange copper with a big, bubbly off white head on top. Aroma is sweet malty, lots of fruit (oranges, apples), some caramel and a good dose of spiciness. Medium carbonation, rather light. Flavour is sweet, yeasty quite light in maltiness. Some distinct spiciness. Really refreshing and drinkable.

Hits the fruit balance right on the head, last glass in the bottle had a more distinct yeast taste. Very well balanced, not too strong.

750ml bottle. Pours a pale copper color with a billowy white head. Aroma is fruity and malty, with strong notes of bananas, citrus, and coriander along with a strong backbone of malt and spices. Taste is creamy and full, with an initially fruity flavor of citrusy hops and banana giving way to a drier finish of malt, yeast, and spice. A pleasantly light and fruity take on a Belgian ale.

Tall and frothy, this amber has a particularly light and earthy aroma with a deep, nearly mahogany hue. Actual flavor is rich and sweet with prevalent notes of fennel, sweet peas, yeast, oats, and nutmeg with a long finish. Due to its sweet nature, enjoy as a digestif with a slice of fruit tart.
