4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Rare Vos
750mL brown bottle (Caged and Corked)
A: snifter. nice amber color, tons of reddish hues. light off-white head with good lacing and head retention.
S: solid fruit aroma, mostly apples. nice crystal malts, with a good amount of spices from the Belgian yeast.
T: nice apple and cinnamon flavors. almost an applesauce flavor. the crystal malts really shine through in the beer, and the Belgian yeast just brings out the spices so well.
M: smooth and creamy, with a medium body. wonderful finish.
D: really nice beer for a Belgian amber, but probably my least favorite from Ommegang. Just not a huge fan of ambers.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
The best amber style ale I’ve had in a long time. Not too sweet but doesn’t overlaod on hops either. Has a nice bouquet from the belgian style yeast.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap @ The Cheeky Monk in Denver. Hazy orange yellow pour, like a hefeweizen, featuring a creamy white head that reduced to a nice lace on top of the beer. Aromas of fresh cut grass, oranges, pineapple, and the smell of lumber after it rains. The taste is bright and vibrant. Wheat, citrus, gentle floral hopiness. Sweet and fruity tastes arrive later after the beer has warmed a little. Definitely has a peppery spiciness to it. Very dry finish, pretty dang refreshing. Full bodied flavor, but not too complex. Not un-complex, just easy to figure out.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours with a very nice three-fingered head. Scents of fruit, bubblegum with a hint of barnyard. Ester goodness in the taste, with a dry, somewhat bitter finish. Reminds me in some ways of a young Orval. Would love to try the rare, hoppy version of this.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On drft at Capital Ale House. Hazy amber. Fruity and some spice in the aroma. Taste has some fruity yeastiness
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
I was confronted with a huge, billowing head that just kept growing, taking about 15 minutes to subside. The color is medium to light amber, the appearance is quite impressive overall. Aroma is of fruit, nutty yeast, and slight bubblegum. Taste is like an average Belgian amber, with nothing really standing out, but nothing to criticize either. It’s just a really smooth, tasty Belgian-style amber ale that has a medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation, and gentle finish.
