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.

Pours an orange amber with a creamy off-white head. Smells of malt, caramel, spice, and slight banana with intense notes of sour orange. Flavor is malty with much of the same flavors as the aroma- citrus bitterness with lingering bite. Nice lace in the glass.

KSBF 08- Bottle, Orange hazy copper, small head. Spice and yeast with a light fizzy sweetness. Banana in there with a dry slight bitter sweet finish. Not overly pleased with this one but good overall.

Decent - has a banana nose full of Belgian Yeasty Spice. Flavor is a sweet malty base with notes of banana, orange, pear, fig and caramel. Ends on a clean finish.

Pours from 750 ml bottle a hazy orange, forming a rather bubbly foamy head, which dissipated rather quickly. Aroma was of orange peel, spices and herbs. Flavour was of a balance of both fruity tartness and rock candy sweetness. Some yeast and cherry seem to sneak in at the end of this beer. Malts and hops, along with the rest seem to balance out well in this tasty brew, a very decent belgian ale.

pours a cloudy copper with no head. Aroma is mostly yeast, with some orange and caramel. Flavor is somewhat sweet followed by definite yeast and tartness. Ok palate, good beer.

750 ml bottle pours to hazy amber body. Aroma is sweet, fruity and promising. Taste is just ok with a bitter after taste. Worth a try.
