Beer Name: Rare Vos

Country of Origin: United States

Price comparison: About $2 more per 12 ounces than the average national domestic.

Alcohol percentage by volume: 6½%

Cute bottle/label? 750ml brown glass corked and caged; red and white label, nothing special. Also available in four-pack.

Appearance: Dark orange with a creamy white head and lots of lacing.

Scent: Tart and spicy like citrus peel.

Flavor: Very light malt, with mixed fruity sweetness as it warmed. Clean and uncomplicated finish.

Impressions: Stronger carbonation and lighter in mouthfeel than I tend to expect from a Belgian-style, but not in a bad way.

Will I buy this beer again? In the four-pack next time, but yeah. Good stuff.
