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 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.

Very similar to Hoegaarden with a scent of coriander, orange peel, and hops, but the flavor is much wheatier. Pours caramel with a cream colored head. Again, Ommegang makes a great Belgian with an American twist.

On tap at Toronado in San Diego. I have seen this so many places in the bottle, and I finally decide to order it, on tap nevertheless. Hazy orange color with a white ring around the glass edge. Sweet banana, bubblegum and pear aroma with nuances of clove. Bittersweet flavor with a character of fruitcake, more clove and a slight note of cherry on the finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours an dense orange/amber with a mega off-white head that is slowly diminishing. Aroma of bread and fruit. Initial taste of fruit and spice. Flavor dries out at the backend and is kinda yeasty. Light to medium body, light carbonation, limited lacing, and light on alcohol. Overall, on par with Ommegang offerings, not particularly special.

Ommefest. Poured dark amber with refreshing flavors of apricots and apples, but overall not my favorite from them. Still a solid belgian.

Hazy amber pour with a moderate creamy head. Really yeasty flavor, banana, bread, kind of bitter. Faint tropical fruit sweetness. Kind of too burdensome to be a session beer. Not bad.
