Sep 4, 2009 Another quality beer for Brewery Ommegang.
Pours a golden brow with a big resliant head.
Smell and Taste are a quality belgian ale with all the subtle flavors of quality Belgian Ales.
I would be happy to have a Rare Vos at anytime, but on the other hand there is not much to distinguish this from other quality Belgian ales.

Sep 3, 2009 Bottle. Amber color with nice head. Earthy amber malt aroma, Belgian yeast, fruits. Fruity, earthy flavor, nice ambner malts, a bit of caramel, yeasty. Crisp, with restrained hops. Ambers are not my favorite Belgian style at all, but this is a very good example of one.

Aug 30, 2009 Sherry, vanilla and clovey licorice nose, hints of dough. Deep orange, slight haze, soapy medium head. Horehound sassafras syrup with peppery spicy bitterness, superbly balanced. Huge lively carbonation, medium body, spicy finish with warming alcohol notes. Refreshing beer with just the right amount of complexity and depth. This is one of those great anytime beers for geeks.

Aug 28, 2009 Pours murky amber with a 1 finger, creamy, white head that has great retention and leaves some lacing.. Aroma is banana, spice, grass, lemon, a little citrus and yeasty bread. Flavor is peppery yeast up front, light herbal notes walnut flesh, dusty citrus and some mineral notes toward the finish. Gets slightly medicinal as it warms, but not to a level where it really bothered me. Palate is medium bodied, fairly dry, lightly carbonated and a little chalky. Pretty good stuff, I was expecting better, it’s a little flat on the flavor profile, but still pretty good.
