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.

Not a bad duubel as such, but still a tad run-of-the-mill really. Deserves another try though.

Looking for a nice brew to drink on a hot summer afternoon. This is one I will drink again and again. Light golden color with a slight head. Flavor is mild, but has a mild, but nice aftertaste. It is crisp and clean! Definite fruity undertones, with a little hops.

I wasn’t that impressed with my first taste but my impression favored with each swallow Its finish is dry and lightly tart, its not especially malty or hoppy allowing the spice character to ring

Not my favorite offering from Ommegang, but an easy drinking brew overall. Pours a hazy orange with fluffy white head. Fruity aroma with a hint of spicy yeast. Mild flavor in tis one, mostly bread and yeast notes on the tongue. Not much carbonation on the tongue, crisp, clean finish.

On tap o lot lately at the local. Lighter body than I remember. Unclear reddish brown with a fluffy head. Aroma of caramel and some yeasty spice. A bit of hop presence but a basic easy drinker overall.

750 ml., Exhuberant head, very long lasting, nice coloration, mild nose, well balanced flavors, but mild to my palate. I don’t get the spiceness mentioned by others. My least favored of the three Ommegangs I have had. Interestingly, when I made sure to get all the yeast, the complexity, not unexpectedly, went way up.
