12oz Bottle
A deep copper color with a light head. This had a deep rich belgium flavor and was deep in malt character. A light sublte spicness this was a nice beer.

really loved this one. Nothing hidden, nothing extra, just a nice strong full flavored beer. Pours golden-amber, slightly cloudy, and offers a rich, thick head. tastes like it should- BEER- great malt sweetness and body, good amount of hop bitterness, not alot, but just enough. Clean crisp, even spicey body, good strong carbonation. Great "normal" taste, and dangerously drinkable.

Condioned beers are the way to go. The commerical description describes it perfectly, the active yeast in the bottle DOES allow it mature and mellow. Color, aroma, finish, all excellent.

A great beer for the price $4.99 for a 750ml. bottle (which is a large part on why it got such a high rating). Pours a pleasing amber-orange color and tastes even better. In my opinion it is the finest mid-range Belgian style ale around the U.S..

7/12/2007: Ommegang Rare Vos purs cloudy amber with a lasting, dense and creamy beige head. The aroma is mildly sweet, malty and fruity with a notes caramel and oak. The flavor is mellow with a fruity character and an elusive spiciness. Nothing is disctinctive or really jumps out. This beer is medium-bodied and smooth on the palate. The beer was good, but I liked the regular <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/ommegang/3022/39 more.

750 mL corked and caged bottle (6.5% Alc. Vol.) shared by Rob. Thank you! Rating #600 for this beer...

pours a cloudy orange with a nice two finger fluffy off white head. aroma is a light malt and hops with a fruity characteristic. has a medium body with good lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma with a little spice. has a creamy slick mouth-feel, and like the bottle says "really mellow". as it warms you can smell and taste yeast and peg out some red apple aroma and flavor. very nice! aroma and flavor do get a little better as it warms.

Bottle. Sampled most recently at BCTC 07. Poured Orange-amber with a moderate sized white head. Aroma of hops and yeast with some spicy, herbal character. Flavor is mainly sweet malt, with moderate bitterness, and mild herbal, earthy notes. Smooth bodied and drinkable.
