Dec 17, 2008 330 mL. Pours a hazy light orange with a modest white head that settles down. Aromas of bread, light fruits, bitter orange. High carbonation. Taste is fruity and yeasty but little sour with a dry, metallic aftertaste. Overall lackluster.

Dec 17, 2008 Hazy yellow/orange, intially frothy head, settles down after a while. Nice aroma, somewhat fruity, spicy, sort of nondescript. Tastes great. Dry, mildly spicy, fruity but not at all sweet. Light touch of brett.

Dec 8, 2008 Bottle from a NYC supermarket.
Fruity Belgian aroma. Round, smooth. Flowers, a bit yeasty, pleasant. A hint of sourness. A fine Belgian-style pastiche.

Dec 7, 2008 Bottle at Eulogy, Philadelphia, in the company of Loz, Casey and Traci on my fortieth birthday, 16-11-08. A decent fruity and spicy beer that poured reddy amber. There is a slight yeasty sourness to this but the fruit is surprisingly punchy. Maybe this was chilled just a little too much as its taking some time to get all the little things that are going on in this beer, but its fine, in fact its better than fine, its nice.

Dec 3, 2008 750ml bottle. Poured amber with thick lasting white head. Bready and malty aroma. Malt, with spicy notes in the flavour. Lingering notes of mixed spice and a pleasant yeastiness. A worthy pale. Fruity notes throughout.

Nov 28, 2008 True Belgian beer in CNY? Word. I got to sample a variety of Ommegang brews at my college’s pub (yes, Hamilton College has a pub on campus). Anyway, the Rare Vos was delicious. Rich amber color with a frothy head. Spicy with a full body. Bittersweet but smooth. Drink up.
