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.

A reserved pour down the center of the glass gives a moderate head that smells of bananas and yeast. The taste begins with a whole grain sweetness, then banana bread. The palate, however, is thin and watery. The carbonation seems right, it is just that the mouthfeel is so thin, and the wateriness does linger. It does not linger with water as badly as a Killian’s red, but it does make you long for just a little more hops to even it out. A decent beer, and one that could be good for friends that are scared of anything not yellow and macro, as there is certainly nothing terrible about it, and it is very drinkable.

Pours a hazy amber with a small white diminishing head. A little lacings. Sweet with a slight bittereness. Belgian yeast. Apple esters. Coriander? Hint of straw. Medium to full bodied. Slightly creamy mouthfeel. Medium carboantion. Long dry and sweet finish. Typical Belgian ale... from the US. Tak Theis.

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.

dark amber pour with a white head that hangs out. lots of malts on the nose along with some spices and fruit notes. caramel and raisins on my first sip but a little bit of carbonation.

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.
