Craftsman Bier De Mars

From tap at Pizza Port, Carlsbad. pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Smooth spiced and light caramel malty aroma. Spiced base flavour with a solid caramel malt presence and mild bitterness towards the finish. Caramel lingering into the far finish yet with a constant dry spice note.

Draft. A hazy amber beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with a strong spicy note of coriander and more, with an underlying note of caramel. The flavor is sweet wtih notes of caramel on which is a strong note of spices with coriander being strongest.

Sample at San Diego Brewing Company. Pours a clear dark amber color with a thin beige head that recedes steadily. Spotty lacing. Aroma of yeast, malt and light peppery hops. Medium-bodied and clean with flavors of yeast, fruit and spices. Sweet caramel malt undertones as well. The finish is spiced with a fruity aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

On draft at San Diego Brewery. Nice and smooth, caramely thick with brown sugar. Well balanced.

On tap at SD Brewing Company; poured a really nice reddish color. Aroma was hoppier than expected with a goo amount of caramel malt balance. Flavor wasn’t quite as hoppy, which was a bit surprising based on the aroma. Flavor was good and well balanced. Caramel and toasted malt with some vanillal and spices. A really good version for the style.

Murky amber. Big, bright caramel nose with white pepper. Caramel malts to the fore with earthy accents and hints of vanilla. Somewhat minerally finish.

Draught @ Hamilton’s, SD. Served in tulip. Deep ancient, antiqued hues. Not much lacing. Good balance with sweet caramel and nutmeg. Solid. Some unripeness. Off-dry. Slight smoke. Genuinely good.
