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.

Bottle. Dark amber color, huge, billowy head. Spicy, yeasty aroma. Highly carbonated, sharp, fruity and spicy, peppery particularly in the finish. Moderate alcohol essence present. Decent.

Nothing like treating yourself on Chrismas eve to a a coupile great beers. This poured from the bottle a golden amber (is that a conflict in terms? just slightly cloudy, with a huge white head and lots of nice lacing. Nose of yeast, malts, carmel, spices, and fruit like lemon or orange Mouthfeel is slightly creamy. Very smooth. Flaver is crisp, almost tending toward sharp, but still quite good. Finish shows a little sugar and spice. Nice brew.

Bottle" Pours a cloudy amber/orange with lots of white head and good lacing. Aroma is mostly yeast, but also a bit of spices. Nice taste of malt, fruitiness, spice, and hints of yeast. Finished easy, crisp with just a twinge of alcohol on the end.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Slightly hazy amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving a broad curtain of laces. Aroma of yeast and burned caramel. Medium body with lightly sweet caramel and burned sugar - and then a distinct yeastiness. Rather tart without much bitterness. 191206

Poures a beautiful yellow-orange witha large, fluffy off white head. Aroma is of malts and fruits, lightly citrus. Spice notes are also in the aroma. Flavor is malty and spicey. Citrus fruit notes are also in there. Pretty good Belgian.
