Feb 25, 2007 Impeccable appearance/head, slightly tart flavor at the outset, nice flavor but not strong. Moderate, somewhat watery palate, finishes dry. Doesn’t particularly stand out on the whole from the other Belgians I’ve had, hence the fittingly bland review. Appearance presents really well, though.

Feb 22, 2007 Nice amber color, big fluffy white head. Smells like a characteristic Belgian ale, that spicy farmhouse I typically hate. Taste is not as bad as I was anticipating, nice spicy taste, but not too much horse blanket (aka pee) to it.

Feb 18, 2007 25-ounce bottle. Amber, somewhat cloudy, with a giant white head. Aroma was light, hard to detect, I wish it was stronger. Flavor was of hops, malt, yeast, pears, and apples. Somewhat carbonated, maybe too carbonated, the palate was crisp and mellow at the same time. The finish was a little bitter from the hops.

Feb 16, 2007 The more Brewery Ommegang beer’s I taste the more impressed I am with them. Rare Vos is classified as a Belgian Style Amber Ale. It pours a very cloudy yellow with a long lasting really big head. It exhibits a fruity somewhat hoppy aroma and the taste is much the same. While it is much lighter then most Belgian ales, it still has enough body to be very satisfying.
A really nice beer

Feb 14, 2007 Pours a golden orange with a large wite head. Aroma is sweet, homey, lemon, juniper(?), burlap, fresh hay, and woody notes. Flavor is at first tart, somewhat sour, giving way to lemon, bananas, all-spice, cinnamon, a wheat note, and a long, dry grassy finish. Complex despite it’s more simple character. Very nice pairing for chicken marsala.
