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.

12 oz. bottle - Poured hazy light orange color with large white head. Aroma is slightly skunky with light malt scent. Taste is grainy and also very bread like flavor. Overall a decent beer and drinkable but aroma is somewhat skunky. High ABV. is a plus and very well hidden.

corked bomber, Amber pour, large off white head. Aromas suggest fruits(apple, maybe a little citrus) Taste was on the whole unremarkable. A decent, drinkable belgian, gentle on the palate, but nothing to remember A slight disappointment.

pours a hazy orange with a tight white head. Not much aroma, just a bit of yeast. Flavor is solid but unremarkable, and the body seems a bit too fizzy to me.

75cl bottle: Pours hazy amber with a fine lasting white head. Aroma & taste is classic Belgium ale like - yeast, malts & fruits. Soft & filling palate. Carbonation is spritzy/lively. Quite auhentic & well made!
