Beer of the Week

The beer: Rare Vos

The brewery: Brewery Ommegang, Cooperstown, New York

Description (from the website): "Our take on the smooth, easy drinking ambers poured in cafés across Belgium, Rare Vos (Strange Fox) takes its name from a tavern near Brussels known for cycling contests, pigeon races and outstanding ales. Pouring a brilliant copper with a creamy white head, this bright, beguiling beer is sensational to session, and pairs wonderfully with mussels, frites, and other pub fare. Because at the end of the day, it’s good to enjoy the end of the day."

Would I buy it again? I'm not sure about this one. It says easy-drinking, but honestly, it's somehow denser and thicker than you'd think. The taste is good, but it's more of a sipping beer than one you'd find refreshing. It wouldn't be bad on a colder day, but it's not a summer beer, and since that's when I'm drinking it, I'd have to give this a pass in the future.
