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.

Pours a cloudy amber red with a nice foamy head that lingers for a long time. It has a very light bready and spice aroma. The beer had just enough spice in the taste to make it interesting, with a slightly sweet, caramel malt body and a light hop bite at the end. At 6.5% ABV it’s quite drinkable. Overall a very easy drinking beer.

Light amber color with a slight malty aroma. Great head and lacing with lots of carbonation, tons of large bubbles float rapidly to the surface giving it a nice mouthfeel. Flavor is well balanced with a spicy character. The end of the bottle can be a bit too yeasty.

Pours a hazy amber with a thick off-white head. Not much aroma...just some malt and yeast and maybe ahint of spiciness. Loads of carbonation on the palate. The taste is complex with some peppery spiciness and fruity sweetness. Finishes clean except for that bit ’o’ spice. Interesting and tasty beer.

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.
