I don’t consider myself an expert when it comes to beer—at least not the way I am with variations of mint chocolate chip ice cream or picking a ripe cantaloupe. However, my taste buds don’t lie and when I come across a good beer, I’ll surely take note.
My most recent discovery, and the one I’ve been proclaiming my favorite for a few months now, is the Rare Vos from Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown, NY.
I had it on draught at Harefield Road in the summertime, and was pleasantly surprised by the citrusy orange grove undertones in the bittersweet elixir. The amber ale has notes of caramel-ness and hops plus a little funkiness in the finish. I also picked up some fig, apple, and cinnamon vibes that’ll get you groovin’ into fall.
Try Rare Vos with sun dried tomato pasta, fried oysters, moulês frites, crêole seasoned chicken and pork, Jamaican jerk chicken, paellas, chorizos and merguez, and tapas.
