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.

On tap at the Gingerman in Ft. Worth. Had this a few times but never rated. Pours amber with a thick head. Fruity aroma with hints of spice. Flavor shows the yeasty character, along with some sweet melon and pear. Creamy finish.

banana, yeasty, cinnamon/all-spice/clove aroma. Very thin head. Decent beer, but not worth the $20 we spent on the bottle. Surprinsgly low alchol.

On tap at Rocky Mountain Pizza in a plastic cup. Pours a deep copper color with a medium, tan head. The aroma is caramel malts, with a lot of fruity esters and spices. Figs, bananas, apples, and cloves. The flavor is very sweet and a little sour. The palate is light to medium, with lively carbonation and just a little astringent. Overall, this is a great beer.

hivemind (352) - New York, New York, USA - DEC 11, 2011
Tap at Olea with Erica, Jen, Mark, Stiffler, Kayla. Pours a beautiful, medium orange-amber with a big, frothy white head with very few bubbles and good retention. Aroma is sweet caramel and booze, I think. Flavor is very Belgian, for lack of a better word, in terms of the yeast. Sweetness, caramel, possible breadiness. Tastes very good. Palate is creamy and yet crisp. Refreshing. No noticeable aftertaste.

Pretty decent. Spicy, golden look, white head. Not much of a taste, heavy and herb-like palete. Not bad at all, just, not remarkable.

750 mL from Scrooge’s. Pours a cloudy orange with a bubbly white head. The aroma is very spicy. Lots of pepper, clove, wood, a bit of citrus. It’s a lively, spritzy brew. Plenty of pepper is in the flavor with a sweet, fruity undertone and a finish that recalls champagne. It’s a good, approachable, complex Belgian style ale.
