Ommegang Rare Vos

Brewed by Brewery Ommegang (Moortgat)
Style: Belgian Ale
Cooperstown, New York USA

12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine here in Jacksonville, Florida. Pours a rich amber color with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is bread, yeast and a touch of the alcohol is present. Taste is lightly bitter and the finish is long lasting. A good thirst quencher on a Saturday afternoon.

Nicely balanced, tart and fruity. Really a good beer. Not overly sweet, a little dry, nothing over the top, but a good stand offering. Tasty.

Bottle. The smell is light sweet, bread and quite strong of yeast, also a hint of alcohol. The head is large, creamy-foamy and white with a long duration. The body is clear and red. The taste is light bitter, quite dry in the mouth with a long duration. The beer is dry with a quite light body and a soft carbonation. A good beer.

Bottle with cork. Spicy, yeasty aroma with a slight bread dough scent. Medium amber in color with a light tan thick head that lasts a long time. Sweet taste up front that slowly blends to a sour finish. Medium body, with a thick mouth feel, lively carbonated and a long finish. This is another great offering from Ommegang, give it a try.

Great aroma, chocked full of yeast and coriander and maybe even mango? Fruity stuff. Appearance is dark copper with a fairly significant head. Definite yeasty character in the flavor, also some citrus and ripe apple, almost like a dubbel in that sense. Palate is creamy and has an undercurrent of liveliness.

12 oz bottle. Aroma has a distinctive and similar style but is slightly lighter than others from Ommegang. Sweet toffee and caramel cookies, some almond nuttiness, apple and pear fruit, mild earthy hop undertones, and very minor olive. Enormous frothy milk head on the pour, decent retention, medium body opacity, and very sharp amber color. These guys never to seem to fail at making pretty beers. A great feeling beer as expected. Solid medium-light body, with nice balance the whole way through. Frosted cereal sweetness initially giving way to more fruity notes such as apple and pear like the aroma, toffee and some nuttiness also there. Bitter notes equally evident of earth, leaf, and minor herb, which comes out nicely in the finish which is short but flavorful. Overall, this is a more basic offering from Ommegang, but none-the-less, exceptionally well brewed and a delightful standard Belgian style ale.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are malt, hops, caramel and fruits.

I cannot believe I haven’t rated this. Had this near the end of last summer. poured a light copper with a white head. aroma malts, sugar, yeast, fruity. flavor sweet citrus, cloves and sweet malts very drinkable
