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. Nice belgian yeast aroma with spice and a bit of orange. Taste is basically the same with a bit of sweet malt coming through. Almost like a saison style. Good stuff.

4 pack of 12 ouncers. Poured a hazy amber color with moderate head. Almost no lacing as I drank it. Aroma was somewhat sweet (maybe banana). Great flavor with a lingering maltiness. Great beer!

Pours rich honey color with fluffy off white head. Sweet and spicy aroma, maybe oranges and cardamom. The flavor is exemplary belgian. Sweet and yeast with a mellow bitter bite and adequate carb. It’s very well balanced. Some belgians I’ve had lately are very intense and sweet, but this is a little more mellow. VERY nice.

Bottle. Light amber pour with a big white head. Aroma is sweet, a little fruity and typical belgian. Has a strong fruity/alcoholic/bananaeee flavor. This is a good Belgian beer.

I thought this was great - bottle from Morry’s of Naples. Really full amber body: tart brown sugar, dark (but not overripe) fruit, hops are surely present and balanced well. Very nice Belgian specemin.
