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.

Spicy and perfumy nose. Smooth sweet taste that gets spicier as it warms. It had a wheaty finish and the spices lingered. Perfect carbonation level in this bottle,too.

Bottled. Compares favorably to a Duvel or Flemish style ale. Pours white, puffy head that thins quickly, leaving nice rings of lace, even in my plastic cup. Color is like a pilsner with a touch more haze. I taste a fine, toasted caramel sweetness, with pleasant nose of coriander, grains of paradise(?), a bit of Curacao orange. Comes in with a slight banana note at the finish. I wish I could've keep this to cellar, but I went a little crazy at the store where I bought this, near our motel. Ended up buying 13 bottles of various micros, and had to trim down to fit in my luggage.

Big Belgian yeasty profile, with raisiny fruits and volatile esters. Some spiciness as well, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, etc. Very nicely done and sessionable brew.

Julios Beer Festival. Pour of clear ambered yellow, with a rim of whitish. Strong aroma of phenolic bananas, clove and lemon. Flavor is fairly straightforward and a little dissapointing with sugary almond and light wheat touches. Smacks of a hint of bandaid and lemons.

Freshness, apple fruity aroma. Bitterness at first, green apple, oakiness, slight resemblance to a sauvignon blanc. Sensational, smooth fresh and crisp.
