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.

Pours amber in color with reddish hues. An impressive two inch head forms on the pour and manages to stick around for awhile. Smell is yeasty, bready and a bit musty. Taste is more of they yeasty and bready experience, but there’s a slight metallic flavor as well. Not sure where that is coming from. Very highly carbonated. I’ll let this one sit for awhile and warm up, hopefully the carbonation will die down a bit. Decent beer, but not overly complex by any means.

rlgk (5238) - Skövde, SWEDEN - AUG 1, 2008
Bottle at Bishops Arms, Norrköping, Sweden. Hazy orange/apricot color, white head. Malty aroma, yeasty and with fruity notes. Malty, yeasty flavor, some spices, some bitterness. Decent beer, but nothing I will remember forever

Bottle. Pour reddish amber with tight bubbly thin head. An alright aroma, really nice yeastiness and caramel feel, a bit spicy. It’s ah-aight.

riversideAK (4381) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - JUL 28, 2008
Tap at Stumbling Monk. Pours a nice amber orange with a decent head. Aroma was fruity with lots of yeasty esters and some fruity malts too. Yeasty and spicy up front. Clove, banana, caramel, toasted malts. Finishes with a pleasant fruitiness. Easy drinking, medium sweet, nice carbonation.

GeneralGao (3515) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - JUL 26, 2008
750ml bottle. Refined aroma of burnt toffee, pear, and brown sugar. Poured a clear medium orange color. The head was off white an reduced quickly to a thin film. There wasn’t much lace to speak of. Light to medium bodied, effervescent, and dry. I tasted toffee, clove, and toasted bread. There was also a splash of white wine. Pretty good stuff.

undsioux7 (745) - Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA - JUL 25, 2008
On tap. Nice belgian yeast aroma with spice and a bit of orange. Taste is basically the same with a bit of sweet malt coming through. Almost like a saison style. Good stuff.

4 pack of 12 ouncers. Poured a hazy amber color with moderate head. Almost no lacing as I drank it. Aroma was somewhat sweet (maybe banana). Great flavor with a lingering maltiness. Great beer!
