Commercial Description:
With this fine, malty ale, the Brewery Duyck continues the long tradition in Northern France of cooking up a special brew in the first months of the year to celebrate the longed-for end to winter’s cold and darkness. Bière de Mars, or "March Beer" - so named for the season in which the first bottles were usually ready to drink - was made from the best ingredients of the last growing season, and was heartier and more flavorful, meant to be laid down and drunk for many months. The chief aroma is of grain, in this case France’s famed barley and wheat malt, which is balanced on the palate by the refreshing and bitter fruitiness of great Alsatian hops. Intended to be served chilled.

Pours gold with a white head. Smells funky with some lemons, touches of hay, horse blankets, some touches of sugar and perfumy. Tastes of dry malt, some touches of sugar, some tea and earth, some bitterness, hints of grassiness on the finish.

Hazy deep golden with a largey finely bubbled white head leaving gentle lace. Surprisingly malty aroma, sweet, with dried grass and subtle perfume. Sweet cereal maltiness, hints of chamomille, reedy/stemmy bitterness. Certainly malt-heavy, very nice.

Bottle. Pours with a small, white head and a hazed yellow body with bubbles rising. Head recedes and leaves acceptable lace. Aroma of skunk, toast, butter, pear, caramel and green pepper. Taste is dry with a mild or neutral fruity yeast with a element of buttered bread and light alcohol. Easy to drink. Watery mouthfeel and light-ish carbonation

Shared from a bottle. Very sweet floral aroma loaded with a murky yeasty grassiness. Sweet flowers in the flavor with a clean, vegetal finish. A bit sharp in carbonation.

Bottle from New Beer Distirbutors. Gold amber color with moderate head. No overwhelming araoma of yeast. Mainly a malty, grainy and slightly floral and touch fruity. But mild in flavor. Crisp and thin.
