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.

Bottle, 12oz, at Bishops Arms, Karlstad. An unclear, amber beer topped by a dense, finger-thick off-white to beige head. Citrus, spices, a nice peppery touch, fruity hops, some hints of alcohol and a hint of caramel in the aroma. The flavor starts with caramel sweetness, then some spices and alcohol chimes in, before fruityness and bitterness comes towards the end. The finish has some alcohol and malty sweetness, with a good spiced, bitterness. Full-bodied and quite dry. Nice. 090802

Bottle at Bishops Arms, Karlstad. Pours a clear orange color with a small white head. Aroma is spicy and fruity with caramel, candy and dried fruits. Flavour is sweet and malty with lots of toffee/caramel, candy, dried fruits, and spices. Body is medium, carbonation is rather soft, and the texture is smooth. It’s quite nice, but a bit too sweet for my liking. However, a more than OK interpretation of a belgian style-beer from Ommegang - though they have better ones.

Smells like a witbier. Nice honey-haze pour with a lacy head. Smells very very wheaty nose, throws you off. Sweet, malty taste on the lighter side of Belgian beers. Lingering aftertaste.

Big bottle. Starts off fruity with a medium mouthfeel quickly tasting hints of spices and complexity. Finishes quick and dry. Tastes good, looks good, is good.. the rare vos.
