THE GREAT BELGIAN BEER QUEST!

I've decided that I will attempt to become a Belgian beer expert on te next year. This will entail several things.

1- drinking and reviewing at least one Belgian style brew a week.
2- brewing Belgian styles at least once a month.
3- cooking/pairing with Belgians.

Review: Ommegang Rare Vos (draft)

Pours a hazy golden orange with hints of red highlights. Beautiful head retention.

Aroma is slightly sweet, like marmalade... but with a tinge of sour.

Flavor is similar to the aroma, sweet and smooth, finishing with a slightly tart, yeasty bite.

Overall: Great entry level Belgian ale... approachable level of sweetness, and good balance of acidity. Would go well with barbeque, or anything on the grill.
