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.

I shared a bottle of this with BeerBaron617 - clearly my drinking/rating buddy. Anyhoo...my second Ommegang, and nothing bad about it. It poured a nice hazy orangy color with a nice thick off white head. It smelled very yeasty - like a bread shop. Tastes amazing!!! I love how fruity it is! It is really carbonated, and super fruity, leaving a juicy sensation in my mouth. A bit of an odd aftertaste, but not enough to put me off too it. Yay for Ommegang!

Shared this with MereLikesBeer. Poured a hazy dark orange with small offwhite head. This stuff was great, maybe not as good as the abbey ale. I do like the mildness of this beer, I could totally drink this with a hearty meal, or even a dessert. Very good brew. Cheers!

BOTTLE: amber/orange pour, toffee and spice nose. Dry taste, with Belgian spice and apple. Another winner from Ommegang.

750ml bottle. Pours a cloudy amber-orange body with a two-finger width, beige, foamy head that dissipates quickly and leaves some nice lacing. Aroma is sweet toffees and caramels with a bit of an apple juice wheat smell. Some peaches, pears, apricots, nuts, toasted cookies, and a light yeasty earth. Flavor starts with some sweeter caramel malts before quickly moving into a peach/pear/apple cider with a touch of toasted toffee. The middle has a bit of earth with plenty of caramel and some nuts before yielding to a moderately fruity bitterness, cider, yeast, toffee finish. Very dry with a moderate lingering bitterness and some lightly toasted toffees, fruit, and a soft earthy spice. Palate is light to medium bodied with a light carbonation. Overall, a pretty solid beer all-around. I like the flavor in that its sweet, but moderately bitter and has a nice spicing/cider tartness. Very enjoyable.

Bottle. This brew is very drinkable, with nothing glaring wrong with it but at the same time nothing jumps out in a good way either.
