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.

750ml-A cloudy orangish body with a huge white head which emits an aroma of malt, belgian yeast, and fruits. Taste of this light to medium bodied brew is of somewhat mild with no flavors coming out initially then everything pops out on you. A good drinkable brew.

12 oz bottle-pours an off orange color w/a moderate head & good lacing. Sweet Belgian aroma. A little bland to start but livened up as it warmed. Sweet flavors of cane sugar, raisens, floral hops, banana, & a touch of spice. Nice, solid easy drinking brew. Good, but not spectacular.

750 - bottle said 5%, but whatever .. Seemed ever so slightly overcarbonated, but that did some interesting things with flavors seemingly transitioning as I let a sip linger in my mouth. Very nice play between the malt sweetness and hop bitterness and nice spicines to it. For some erason, I think these guys know what they’re doing.

Hazy orange color with an ok head. Aroma is fruity with banana and citrus. Flavor is lacking a slight hop bitterness with a sweet fruit taste.

750 ml bottle from Bevmo. Pours a murky unfiltered copper-orange color with a small white head. The head recedes to 1/8 inch and leaves plenty of lacing in the glass as it goes. The aroma has notes of soap, cloves and musty yeast. The flavor is light with some citrus, more cloves and sweet malts. The mouthfeel is a bit thin up front but fills out to a full effect by conclusion. The finish is short with a lingering sweetness. Overall: This is a quite light and sessionable ale, and to that extent I recommend it.

Pours an effervescent, clear copper orange with a rocky off-white head that has great retention and leaves globs of lacing. Very yeasty aroma of banana, clove and other spices. The flavour is spicy and yeasty with plenty of malt sweetness, citrus fruit and bready malts. The finish is spicy and dry with good duration that leaves hints of citrus and spice. Nice medium effervescent body that has a creamy mouthfeel.
