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.

12oz bottle. Pours light amber/orange with a big off-white head that retains well. Lots of lacing. Aroma is fruity and yeasty. Flavor is the same, but more subdued. Finish is very dry, almost watery and a bit soapy.

Pours a very hazy honey copper with thick white head. Aroma is citrus pine with semi metallic notes. Flavor is apricots, pine flavored hops and yeast. Body is crisp and a light creaminess with high carbonation.

pours a nice gold-orange with thick white head. Ample carbonation. Smells of apricots. Taste is spicy, sweet fruits, bit of yeast. Overall a good Belgian Ale, hit it when the mood it right.

Enjoyed from a 750ml bottle in a whiskey snifter. The beer pours a light amber color, crystal clear with a white head. The aroma is hard to pin down. It is unmistakably Belgian and full of esters, but there isn’t one that sticks out in particular. Perhaps orange marmalade? Hints of malt come through as the sample warms, along with a very light touch of earthy hops. The palate brings a bready note up front, followed by some esters, and a nicely dry finish. A really nice, if restrained, Belgian ale.

GUSHER!!! Did not add to my enjoyment. Poured into snifter. Pours a semi-cloudy orangey with steady carbonation, quickly disappating off white head. Fruity and very boozy aroma. The aroma is much stronger than the flavor which is flat and smooth. Sweet and bearable but not so hot for me. Way overpriced at $12.99.

Delicious- fruity, full of honey and berries. Thick, like a sweeter version of Delirium Nocturnum with a lot more cinnamon. Total Wine and More Ft. Lauderdale.
