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.

Pours a cloudy amber with a small white head. Aroma of caramel malt, some yeast, with some light fruity notes. Taste is caramel malt, yeastiness and some dark fruit undertones. Palate is nice medium body, carbonation is good. Finish is malty, yeasty, with some dark fruity plums notes, light hops and a slightly sweet spicy and nutty aftertaste. Overall a very nice easy to drink ale.

Bierkrug (1643) - Idar-Oberstein (In Senegal), Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - JUL 20, 2011
On tap at the Dancing Cat Saloon in Bethel, NY. Pours nice hazy burnt orange with thick white head. Aroma is orange, lemon, yeast, banana, spices, and bready malt. Flavor is banana, clove, citurs, bready malts, caramel and yeast. Smooth and refreshing on the palate. While not overly complex it great flavor and easy to drink. Nice begain style ale from the US.

Bottle, mybrewery.tap.com. Close your eyes and this is a Belgian born beer. Lovely bready, soft yeast aroma and touches of banana and herbs, fruity and warming on the tongue and a great amber orange appearance. It hints at bitterness, right at the very end, my only criticism would be that it seems to go a wee bit thin midway, but otherwise, a cracker.

This beer is nice. Kinda reminds me of La Fin Du Monde, only with a lower abv%. Nice balance of fruit and spice, with a smooth malt profile. Clean drinking and excellent.

Pours amber with an off white head. Aroma is spicy yeast , citrus and sweet malt. Flavor is lively fruit, yeasty, spice, with a clean dry finish. Hardly rare from many perspectives.

From 12 oz. bottle into a shaker glass. Beautiful foamy and very long-lasting head, medium amber and moderately cloudy appearance, subtle aroma with an intense sweet malt taste, very full but not heavy mouth feel. Light to moderate carbonation, definite hops bite in several layers of notes, great smooth finish with a pleasantly understated aftertaste. A "do again," this is a great beer!
