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.

Tap. Pours with a murky brown color and a small head. Has some fruity aroams but little of the yeast notes. Flavor is also more grainy than yeasty, some dark fruit and some caramel. It is medium bodied and has a nice finish.

$5.25 for a 16oz. serving at the Crabapple Taco Mac location. Served, oddly enough, with a gigantic orange slice. Appearance: Pours a clear, medium copper body Smell: Aroma of toasted malts with unripened bananas, candied dried fruits, and coriander. Taste: Toasty, bready maltiness with a restrained sweetness. Fruity and a bit flowery. Coriander and maybe even a cinnamon stick tossed in. Tempering hop bitterness. Pervasive, sour yeastiness throughout. Dry, yeasty finish.Banana lingers into the aftertaste. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation. Drinkability: A fine, easy-drinking brew from Ommegang. Certainly worth a try. Oh, and the orange slice? It was delicious.

Pours a five-finger thick white head that takes forever to fade leaving some lace. Cloudy amber color. Wheat/yeast nose. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Flavor is fruity & yeasty, almost a clean finish. 750ml bottle $5.99 from Capitol Convenience Concord, NH.

Decent golden appearance. Nice carbonation, solid head. Aroma is slightly bitter/fruity. Flavor is kind of a let down. Far too light...I think the right notes are there, tart apple, citrus, spice, but they just aren’t prominent enough. Decent beer.

Nice, golden color. Sweet, green apple taste with a nice spiciness. Body is full. Lite carbonation.

(Bottled, 0.75l) Hazy amber with a medium, lacy head. Very fruity aroma with tart hints. Yeasty-fruity, neutral-malty, peppery-spicy flavor with a hint of acidity. Medium-bodied with slightly foamy carbonation. A balanced and spicy, true-to-the-style Belgian Ale.

Rare Vos pours a hint of orange. There is some fruit in the smell. It is a crisp taste of spice.
