Ommegang Rare Vos: 20

Taste:7 Finish: 7 Visual: 3 Aroma: 3
Total: 20

It has a nice fresh aroma of bread, yeast, and citrus. The head is thick and foamy. The color is a cloudy amber.

It has a very bright start. A bit of tartness and sizzle. It mellows in the middle with a bit of breadiness. Under it all remains some lemon. In the end it finishes smoothly leaving a trail of mild hoppy bitterness on the tongue. And the aftertaste is a bit of spice, maybe corriander. It's hard to identify the flavor.

The flavors are mellow and kind of blend together. I kind of wanted a more distinct lemon or perhaps more identifiable spices. But, Ommegang delivers a solid brew worth trying.
