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. Pours amber with a thick white head. This is a good one. A little sweet, a lot of grain, a touch of sourness, a little banana too. Easy drinker.

Cloudy gold-amber color with a sticky white head. Nice Belgian lacing. Smell is earthy and grassy with yeasty dough, ripe fruit, and spices. Malty and spicy taste, with hints of apple, candi sugar, and grass. Quite dry and well-carbonated. Easy to drink.

Bottle. Pours orange amber with a beautiful thick head. Lacing sheets down the glass. Aroma is grainy and a bit earthy with the slightest hop aroma. The taste is sweet grain with a bit of a sour yeast that balance. The hops peek through midway to give it the mildest of bites. Great taste. The mouthfeel is a creamy carbonation, light, almost too light, but still smooth and bubbly. The finish is a slight hint of warming on the back of the throat. Very good beer. Will try cellaring this to see what may improve.

750, corked and baled. God, this is just a pleasant, easy-drinking Belgian with tight, refreshing tiny carbonation. Ultra-sessionable. Pours a slightly hazy medium amber with a thin tannish head that’s equal parts cream and fizz. Decent sheets of lace sweeping down the sides of the glass like an eggwash. The nose has a nice grain husk note to it, along with some slightly funky yeast and dust. Nice lightish body with soft tight tiny carb--very refreshing but still understated. Perfect balance that way. A little bit of orange tartness on the mid-palate, along with some soft grainy nuttiness. I wish this beer cost a bit less so I could just murder it by the case.
