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.

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

12 oz. bottle at Zeno’s, Penn State. Poured cloudy orange with minimal white head. Sweet flavor with malts and citrusy tones. Solid.

Red, nice sturdy beige head. malty, creamy, cereally aroma. First sip is foamy, perfectly carbonated, and very smooth. Flavor is a great mix sour, bitter and rich, with fruity, cherry-like flavor mixing with caramela nd a touch of smoke. Nice stuff.

Another excellent creation by the folks at Ommegang. This beer has the trademark Belgian complexity without being overbearing in any way. An aroma of yeast, oranges, spices, and toast. Appearance is burnt orange, hazy with a huge off-white head with really nice lacing. Flavors were first and foremost sweet and caramelly, but under that there a nice lingering spicyness which combines well with the hops. I think this would be a fine beer to introduce someone to a Belgian style beer. Nothing too overpowering or too subtle to appreciate. Just plain good.

Bottle. 12 Fl. OZ. Cloudy, amber color. Yeasty, citrusy aroma. Fizzy palate. Flavor is a little sweet, then bitter. Not bad, but nothing special.

Amber body with large white head. The aroma is bread, cloves and fruit. Flavor is mildly sweet, light spice, some bread and honey. Medium body is soft with light carbonation.

Bottle. Pours clear caramel, off white head. Aroma is tangy, funky bleu cheese, spices (breakfast sausage). Flavor is wheat, fruit, bleu cheese. A bit more on the generic side of a saison, and tasey. Also, in Binghamton, NY I can buy this 750ml bottle for $3.88 at Giant Food Market.
