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.

Bottle. Pours a light copper color with a nice white head. Aroma is yeast, spice, grain. Flavor is yeasty, light banana, carmel, spice. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation finished sweet. Good.

One of my favorite beers. I begged my local beer & wine shop to start carrying it. You can say that it is not on par with "true" Belgian Ales, but it has nice flavor, aroma and color and is a pleasure to drink when you want the Belgian flavor with getting knocked over the head with it.

Not bad, but not great.....kind of spicy tast with a hint of orange. Nice pour with a super head...much better when it is warm

In bottle at Tony’s Place Warminster. Pours a beautiful Amber color. Head is a light amber, that dissipates slowly. Not as sour as some other Belgians in this style. A very nice beer.

Corked 750ml bottle. Pours an amazing ligh reddish brown with a brown head. The initial taste is yeast, followed by a subdued dark fruit and citrus flavors. Some spices and a fairly dry finish. Really an enjoyable beer. As good as most Belgian brews.

From Growler. Aroma of a tantalizing concoction of spices, maybe some clove and liquorice in there, never good with naming particular spice notes...fruity notes dash in and out, always too quickly for my nose to name. Sweet malt and spicy/bitter hops take background roles but are noticeable. Flavor lets go of the spices to an extent in favor of a sweet fruit (strawberry-citrus?) generously served over hops. Very, very drinkable, and very, very good.

Pours a reddish amber color with small head which retains through out. Aroma of malt and fruit. Taste is fruity and maybe some alcohol warmth. Could drink this all night.

On draft at Fuel and Fuddle. Pours a hazy amber color with a thick frothy off-white head. Nose of malty banana, clove, coriander, and yeast. Taste of some fruity esters with a little bit of sour from the yeast. A nice bitter balance as well. Has a sort of creamy oily body. Not the best from Ommegang, but pretty good.
