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.

355 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a creamy white head. Nutty malt character in the noise with toffee overtones. Sweet slightly bitter start with a lingering dry crisp finish.

750 mL bottle. Pours gold. Initially half of the glass contains the body and the other half is head, which slowly diminishes. Yeasty aroma of belgian sugar, spices, and lemon. Flavor is basically a good belgian but a little dryer and peppery. This is very well done. Still complex without the higher alcohol exhibited by the "strong" category.

Bottle Deep amber pour with nice sized white microbubble head. Aroma of sweet malts and a bit of citrus. Flavor is a bit lighter than other Ommegang brews. Sweet malts and a bit of spice dominate the flavor with a bit of hidden smoky flavor. Well carbonated, very smooth, well balanced.

Not bad, but not great.....kind of spicy tast with a hint of orange. Nice pour with a super head...much better when it is warm
