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.

Bif (529) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - SEP 11, 2010
Bottle- Pours a mild hazy copper color with a big head. Some malt & grain aroma and good measure of spice & fruit thrown in. Initial spice & fruity taste with a tangy but dry finish. Fairly light body, smooth and no trace of the 6.5% ABV.Good Stuff. Another good "Domestic" Belgian Ale. Will have to come back to this from time to time.

Pours a medium to dak amber orange. Smells of cloves with some peppery fruitiness. Flavor is sweet without being overly cloying. The palate is smooth and sweet.

italianjohn (1645) - Penndel, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 20, 2010
Hazy golden amber pour .. frothy white head ... spicy fruity belgian yeast aroma .... taste of fruity (apple/pear) belgian yeast, sweet malts, and a little floral with some spicy lemon zest .... little bit of a dry fruity finish .... an easy drinking belgian that didn’t wow me but was very solid and enjoyable

Golden orange brown pour with minimal head and lacing. Spicy aromas that carry into the flavor along with candied fruit - some nuttiness too ... reminding me of a port without the wine backbone. Good body and a long lasting terrific finish. Can’t wait to have this one again!!

(750ml bottle) clear orange-brown, lasting creamy head. Nose of banana, mild bubble gum, alcohol, and rum. Taste of rum, brown sugar, banana, alcohol, very subtle metallic notes, with a very creamy semi-dry finish.

rotjoch (27) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - AUG 13, 2010
Mooi amberkleurig bier, met in de geur toetsen van appelsien en koriander. De hop komt zacht naar voor in de geur, zonder te overheersen. Ook de smaak voldoet aan de eisen van de Belgische amberdrinker. Een mooi bier.

garthicus (2006) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 7, 2010
On tap at Coles. Appearance: cloudy rusty brown with a tiny dish water head. Aroma: banana, yeast, pepper, lemon. Flavour: tangy alcohol, banana, lots of yeast, somewhat ’salty’ and a good amount of slick mouthfeel. Long yeasty finish. Nice!
