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. This one pours a mean head and has a fruity nose. Taste is good - somewhat spicey and malty.

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquor - Pours a hazy amber color with a one and a half finger thick off white head. Lively carbonation. Very light lacing. Aroma is spicy esters and light malt. Again, flavor is full of esters and a light malt background. The spiciness of the beer lingers on the palate in a good way. Medium body. A good beer.

750 ml. bottle. This is probably one of the best lighter belgian ales I have had. Light amber in color with a frothy head. The aroma is a bit yeasty with a bit of citrus. The flavors are very malty and fruity. A very well rounded Belgie.

Tasted 11/22/07. 750ml bottle. Remnants of Thanksgiving dinner. Hazy sedimented amber hue. Off white head. Musty citrus aromas. Touch bready, touch spicy. Medium bodied with solid malt backbone and a spicy peppery yeasty flavor. Rounded and smooth. Only a slight astringency from the effervescence. Good tingling flavor. Great yeasty note combined and flowing into the hop finish. Nice melding caramel malt flavor. Still one of the best domestic breweries making Belgian styles!

Tap. The distinct red amber ale tasted great to me with Belgian Frites. The malty elements seemed different with every taste and I enjoyed the subtle fruit of it.

Tap, poured very dark amber color, very light cloudy head. Sweet aroma of malts and fruits. Flat in carbonation with a bite at the end. Smooth but too smooth, went down like water... An ok beer.

What a great beer! Fruity malt with a wonderful yeast flavor throughout, it pours a beautiful amber with a slight cloud in a glass. A awesome everyday beer with complexity and sophistication. A real treat!
