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.

Warm golden, close to copper with a nice and creamy head. The aroma has a lot of yeast and orange citrus fruits, other fruit, malt and spice. The flavour is sweet and I find the same notes as in the flavour, but also candy sugar and pear. The finish is citrussy and sweet. The overall impression is too sweet for me, and the rather high carbonation is a bit annoying too.

Pours a hazy amber with off white head. Aromas of dough, fruits and spices. Flavor starts slighlt sweet and fruity and finishes with a light bitterness. Medium body with creamy texture and soft carbonation. Easy drinking and pleasant but nothing outstanding.

Bottled. Semi clear and amber coloured with a rather large white head. Quite yeasty with notes of spices, vanilla, grapefruit and has a somewhat sweet and a bit sticky mouthfeel.

Bottled at Järnet Bar, Stockholm. Pours out in a hazy amber colour with a rich white lasting white foam. Well-balanced malty and yeasty aroma of all-spice, cookies, white bread, caramel and banana in the aroma. Medium-bodied with a cotton-like malty flavour of nuts, cookies, vanilla and crystallized banana. Long balanced finish, leaning to the malty spectrum of yeast, mild spices and dried oranges with subtle grassy hops. Nice and charming.
