Ommegang Rare Vos

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.

Bottled at Haket. Hazy amber with a large, white head. Apricots, pineapple and orange in the aroma. Yeasty and fruity flavour with loads of tropicoal fruits.

Bottle from Miami. Big cork "pop"! Nice warm spice aroma reminds me a bit of a Unibroue at first but then quietens down pretty quickly. Ver carbonated with a steady rush of bubbles. Lasting pourous dirty-white head on cloudy dark amber. Interesting flavour. A bit of a cross between a wheat and a Belgian. Fruity, apples and appricot, and kind of refreshing. Bottom half of the bottle brings a nice caramel mix.

Pours a dark copper color with a thick, off-white head and lots of carbonation. Aroma has hints of yeast and spice, and slight fruitiness. Taste is very carbonated, with light fruitiness (hints of apple) and also a bit of spice. A nice belgian, and not too heavy on the alcohol content.
