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.

Rciesla (5500) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - DEC 30, 2008
Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Zesty yeast, bready, hints of spices. Coriander, caramel malt. Not really a fan of this one.

beerbill (2850) - Laurel, New York, USA - DEC 28, 2008
750 ml bottle that I received as a Christmas gift from my friend Russell. Pours a cloudy golden brown with a moderate off-white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left sparing lace. Mild aroma of malt, brown sugar, and yeast. The flavor is malt, yeast, and some mild orange and lemon. Somewhat dry as this beer finishes. Effervescent and a bit spritzy on the tongue. An ok beer, although not something I would seek out on a regular basis.

badwhale (222) - Bitterville, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 24, 2008
Bottle to chilled mug. Very nice golden yellow with a nice head. good begian ale flavor. I drank this while working with some spanish cedar in the basement. I dont know if woodworking is supposed to complement a beer but it did

GT2 (3440) - Washington DC, USA - DEC 17, 2008
330 mL. Pours a hazy light orange with a modest white head that settles down. Aromas of bread, light fruits, bitter orange. High carbonation. Taste is fruity and yeasty but little sour with a dry, metallic aftertaste. Overall lackluster.

minch25 (550) - Medford, Massachusetts, USA - DEC 17, 2008
Hazy yellow/orange, intially frothy head, settles down after a while. Nice aroma, somewhat fruity, spicy, sort of nondescript. Tastes great. Dry, mildly spicy, fruity but not at all sweet. Light touch of brett.

KnutAlbert (4386) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 8, 2008
Bottle from a NYC supermarket. Fruity Belgian aroma. Round, smooth. Flowers, a bit yeasty, pleasant. A hint of sourness. A fine Belgian-style pastiche.

Fin (5490) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - DEC 7, 2008
Bottle at Eulogy, Philadelphia, in the company of Loz, Casey and Traci on my fortieth birthday, 16-11-08. A decent fruity and spicy beer that poured reddy amber. There is a slight yeasty sourness to this but the fruit is surprisingly punchy. Maybe this was chilled just a little too much as its taking some time to get all the little things that are going on in this beer, but its fine, in fact its better than fine, its nice.

troopie (1557) - Munchen an der Willamette, Oregon, USA - DEC 3, 2008
750ml bottle. Poured amber with thick lasting white head. Bready and malty aroma. Malt, with spicy notes in the flavour. Lingering notes of mixed spice and a pleasant yeastiness. A worthy pale. Fruity notes throughout.
