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.

Snojerk321 (2954) - San Diego, California, USA - JUL 10, 2008
750ml bottle from BevMo. Ommegang Rare Vos pours cloudy amber with a lasting, dense and creamy beige head. The aroma is mildly sweet, malty and fruity with a notes caramel and oak. The flavor is mellow with a fruity character and an elusive spiciness. Nothing is distinctive or really jumps out. This beer is medium-bodied and smooth on the palate.

Sweet malty aroma with some fruitiness like overripe pears. Not too sweet or bitter. Spicy but in an understated way with some breadiness and light orange notes.

Pours a reddish amber color with small head which retains through out. Aroma of malt and fruit. Taste is fruity and maybe some alcohol warmth. Could drink this all night.

sja14 (108) - Ohio, USA - JUL 3, 2008
Pours a hazy amber color with a rather flat miniature head. Definitely a nice crisp Belgian with sweet malts coupled with a nice crisp finish. This is a nice refreshing beer.

Pours a translucent copper with a profuse creamy tan head. The nose is very yeasty, Belgian all over, which I love. Sweet, funky, spicy, fruity all in the nose. The flavor is very yeasty, big Belgian flavor, fruity, raisin, earthy, has one tiny hole in the flavor. Very filling explosive carbonation. Full bubbles coat the mouth and expand to slide down the throat in a most exciting manner. A little underrated in my opinion.
