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.

750ml bottle. Pours hazy bright amber orange with big off-white head. Aroma of mild hops, yeast, caramel and grain malt, and some light fruit (maybe apricot and peach). Softer fruit more present on the palate. Smooth palate; not prickly or overcarbonated. Tasty and easy to drink; nice low abv.

Draft. Pours hazy golden yellow with very thick head. Smells sweet, of dark fruit. Sour yeast taste with hop finish, not as flavorful as I’d expect, medium bodied.

Sample pour- Taproom. Yellow, orange, boozy aroma with some citrus. Taste is very sweet and malty right away, then surprisingly tangy at the end. Interesting but kind of off with the sweetness lingering with the tang.

Pours a setting sun amber orange with a small tan head. Not much lacing and smooth carbonation. Malty blend with a slight yeast taste is crafted well. Finishes with a touch of fruit.

Poured from the bottle to a hazy orange with good carbonation and a thin head that dissipated quickly top slight lacing. Nose was a nice blend of citrus fruit, spices, bread dough and wheat. Mouth was tingly and slightly hoppy, and the taste picked up the lead of the nose. The only drawback was a slight watery finish, but not enough to ruin my enjoyment of this beer.
