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.

Huge frothy white head, brownish orange body. Smells strongly of yeast, like doughy bread. Pleasant flavor--moderately sweet with touches of black pepper and nutmeg. Finishes with a light hoppy bitterness.

This brew is a luminous orange/amber color with a medium off-white head. Thin and sticky lacing. The aroma is lightly spiced and fruity, along with some yeast. Medium-bodied with peach, yeast, wheat and spice flavors. The finish is dry and fruity, with sweet malt peeking through. Pretty solid through and through.

Bottled at Haket. Hazy amber with a large, white head. Apricots, pineapple and orange in the aroma. Yeasty and fruity flavour with loads of tropicoal fruits.

Bottled at Järnet Bar, Stockholm. Pours out in a hazy amber colour with a rich white lasting white foam. Well-balanced malty and yeasty aroma of all-spice, cookies, white bread, caramel and banana in the aroma. Medium-bodied with a cotton-like malty flavour of nuts, cookies, vanilla and crystallized banana. Long balanced finish, leaning to the malty spectrum of yeast, mild spices and dried oranges with subtle grassy hops. Nice and charming.

Define "Artisanal Strong Pale Ale." Sierra Nevada Pale Ale this ain't. Well, combine that with a Triple and you're there with this beer.. Pours a cloudy honey color with a very thick head that hangs around for a while. No lace. Smells very fruity. I'm thinking bananas and lemons with a hint of hops. Tastes even more like bananas with a strong citrus aftertaste that's quite pleasant. Mouthfeel is foamy but not very thick. Drinkability is pretty good, but I wouldn't want too many of these in a row without something to eat in between.

750ml. Kind of surprised at the 85 rating. I really thought this one would be higher. Bright orange appearance. Citrusy apple but not too yeasty aroma. Extremely smooth and drinkable. I’d happily drink this one again. Biggest negative is the quickly dying head.

Part of May 2008 beer tasting event. Pours hazy orange with short head. Typical Belgian banana and clove aroma. Malt on the beginning turning slightly sour.
