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.

Yes they did it again. This brewery has a good touch in making several beer styles and this is no exception. Malt flavor with some hints of fruit and sweetness. Love the yeast finish.

Bottle at Cafe Margot in Nashville, TN. Pours orange with a white head. Aroma of belgian esters and sweet wheaty malt. Flavor profile has a subtle complexity. I picked up flavors of honey, pale wheat malt, yeast, exotic fruits, cinnamon, and caramel.. Without looking up the style, I thought this would be a Biere de Garde. The bitterness is well done, with a slight lean to the aggressive side of the scale. There is a nice amount of residual sweetness. Finish is semi dry and yeasty. Good beer.

12 oz bottle. Poures a yellowish orange with a thin head. Tons of yeast floating around, too much for me. Taste like a Belgian with sweet citrus and yeast. I gave this one such a low rating because of the over powering of the yeast.

Pretty good belgian ale. Pours a hazy orange color with a thin white lacing. Has a nice kick of alcohol and yeast in its taste that lingers on the palate.

Ok, from the bottle I thought it would be a lot better then it was, but I found it to be very average. Mild spiciness with a bit of fruit, the latter of which is present in the aroma.

Draft @ BSP, Atlanta. Pours a nice golden hue with dense creamy white head. Nose is perfumy, with hints of cinnamon, almonds, grassy hops. More light spiciness on the palate, smooth creamy lighter malts, ending moderately dry with a solid herbal bitterness and a wheat malt background. Decent.

Bottle. Great amber, orange color with nice big foamy head. Sweet and fruity with a nice spice finish. Just a bit cloying. Not bad.
