3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle.Strange orange like appearance. Some spices are present and it is amazingly powerful considering its strength. Well worth trying.

Bottle from Stirchley Wines. Lovely amber hues. Yeast! It’s always the yeast flavour that marks out a Belgian Ale and this one is no different. Banana is definitely noticeable, along with a hint of orange hop and nutmeg. Dry, dusty, slightly papery finish. Crisp and tasty.

Cork randomly exploded out of the bottle 5 min after cage taken off, it scared the crap out of me. Body appears reddish honey brown with a thick of white cap, very long lasting. Dam fine aroma!! massive wheat, big yeast, powerful spice. This is not a timid brew.BANANA!!!!!! Taste is similar to aroma but not as good. Good wheaty malt perfect spice, roasted coconut, slightly sour finish. I’m getting a strange watery cherry flavour in the sour finish. Ya i read a blond freaks review and i 100% agree with his pear pick up, but it reminds me of a desert I had at my wedding a pear that was poached in e reasling wine with cinnamon and clove. Brew has now sat for an hour and ginger ale is now replacing all other fruits. Bryzgalov has completely screwed my goal tending is weeks pool match up DAM YOU RUSSIANS!!! Wow what a great beer I could drink this all the time it be complex but yet easy drinking. I take back my Russian comment Khabibulin is standing on his head here in the 3rd!! GO OILERS!!!

Flemish for “Sly Fox”, this brew is fruity & spicy all in one tasty package! Insanely aromatic and full of robust flavors! Definitely a fine brew to pair up with some spicy mussels or grilled halibut! A very fine rendition of a Belgian ale. I did notice some light sediment (yeast) floating around the bottom of the bottle/glass. Just give it a slight shake to break it up and enjoy!

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A bright amber body with note of golden straw in the body. A thick yellowish head with tons of ridiculously foamy and whipped lacing on the glass. The nose is crisp and well spiced with a prominent coriander and lemon rind aroma. Floral Belgian yeast with a light bready malt. A light fruity weetness in the middle with a pronounced spice on the finish. Sweet and citric with notes of coriander, cloves and a light sweet malt accompanying a mild dried fruit taste. Rare Vos has a medium to full body and a smooth sticky mouthfeel. This is a great brew overall.

Again from notes three years ago. As an aside a chap I met in The Twisted Hop had three cases of this beer sent over from the brewery to New Zealand on a US Air Force flight just for me. What a good bastard and if you ever read this old son, get in touch.
Perfumy spicy aromas on a hazy amber beer. Head sinks into the glass and clings to the side leaving good lacing. Characters of the fruits alluded to on the label but a little bit disappointing as after the flush of mouthfeel and spice it sinks away leaving not much of a trace afterward. For all that, tasty enough and worth going back for seconds.
