Rare Vos poured a clear honey color with a thumb width, frothy white head.  The nose is interesting with fruity esters that cause result in a candy-like aroma, with yeast and spices mixed in.  The body is smooth with lots of malt and some sugar with more spices, orange notes, and light hops underneath.  The finish is not to long or overwhelming but has a nice dryness that does a good job of balancing out the big front. The beer has a nice evervescence and leaves some hanging lace on the glass.  Overall, this is a really nice amber ale.  The malts and sugar up front outweigh the hops, which might offend hop fans but I love the rich, deep body of this beer.  The spices, malt and fruit make this my ideal Spring/Fall beer.  Another gem from Ommegang.

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
