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, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours a great orange copper with a big, bubbly off white head on top. Aroma is sweet malty, lots of fruit (oranges, apples), some caramel and a good dose of spiciness. Medium carbonation, rather light. Flavour is sweet, yeasty quite light in maltiness. Some distinct spiciness. Really refreshing and drinkable.

Hits the fruit balance right on the head, last glass in the bottle had a more distinct yeast taste. Very well balanced, not too strong.

750ml bottle. Pours a pale copper color with a billowy white head. Aroma is fruity and malty, with strong notes of bananas, citrus, and coriander along with a strong backbone of malt and spices. Taste is creamy and full, with an initially fruity flavor of citrusy hops and banana giving way to a drier finish of malt, yeast, and spice. A pleasantly light and fruity take on a Belgian ale.

Tall and frothy, this amber has a particularly light and earthy aroma with a deep, nearly mahogany hue. Actual flavor is rich and sweet with prevalent notes of fennel, sweet peas, yeast, oats, and nutmeg with a long finish. Due to its sweet nature, enjoy as a digestif with a slice of fruit tart.

Yes they did it again. This brewery has a good touch in making several beer styles and this is no exception. Malt flavor with some hints of fruit and sweetness. Love the yeast finish.

Bottle at Cafe Margot in Nashville, TN. Pours orange with a white head. Aroma of belgian esters and sweet wheaty malt. Flavor profile has a subtle complexity. I picked up flavors of honey, pale wheat malt, yeast, exotic fruits, cinnamon, and caramel.. Without looking up the style, I thought this would be a Biere de Garde. The bitterness is well done, with a slight lean to the aggressive side of the scale. There is a nice amount of residual sweetness. Finish is semi dry and yeasty. Good beer.

12 oz bottle. Poures a yellowish orange with a thin head. Tons of yeast floating around, too much for me. Taste like a Belgian with sweet citrus and yeast. I gave this one such a low rating because of the over powering of the yeast.
