Rare Vos Amber Ale

      Rare Vos is from the Ommegang Brewery which specializes in Belgian Style beers.  Ommegang is also out of Cooperstown NY home of the baseball hall of fame.  Rare pours out a cloudy amber and has a very complex nose of citrus, spice, yeast, melon and herb.  Unfortunately complex, and expensive, does not mean good  It tastes like a Belgian white with a bit of mead in it.  But there is an overwhelming coriander flavor that's just too much.  I can see how this is interesting because you can detect some of the flavors you get on the nose.  But, this does not work for me at all, and I won't be having another.
