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.

Nearly clear dark pink with a noisy head. Spicy, fruity aroma with raspberry and black pepper. Clean and dry, crisp on the palate, perhaps a little thin. LIghtly fruity and spicy. Though this beer may be aged it seems to me that it would be best fresh and on draught.

Bottle. Pours copper in color with a huge creamy off-white head that leaves huge chunks of lacing. Sweet aroma of fruits and light alcohol. Great mix of malts, spices, and fruits in the flavor. Sweet throughout and a medium body. A nice one to have around!

Cloudy orange-amber color with a big foamy head. Yeasty & fruit filled aroma. Taste is sweet with a nice mix of spices and darker-sweet fruits. Overall pretty good.

Delicious Belgian Ale in the style is supposed to be. Rich and golden, strong and flavorful. If you’re looking for an ale that takes a flavor like Yuengling and runs with it, this is a good beer!

Another good brew from Ommegang. Aroma is semisweet. Appearance is cloudy brown with a nice head. Mouthfeel is so smooth. Goes down effortlessly. Flavor is very malty with hardly any hops. A very nice brew.

Impeccable appearance/head, slightly tart flavor at the outset, nice flavor but not strong. Moderate, somewhat watery palate, finishes dry. Doesn’t particularly stand out on the whole from the other Belgians I’ve had, hence the fittingly bland review. Appearance presents really well, though.

Nice amber color, big fluffy white head. Smells like a characteristic Belgian ale, that spicy farmhouse I typically hate. Taste is not as bad as I was anticipating, nice spicy taste, but not too much horse blanket (aka pee) to it.

12 oz bottle. Pours cloudy amber color with full foam white head. Aroma and taste of spice, yeasty and sweat malt with slight bitter after taste. Very drinkable beer.
