Jul 1, 2009 Orange/yellow pour, smallish white head. Spicy nose, cloves and cinnamon. Mouthfeel is soft, no single flavor dominates, but there is a pronounced spicy forefront partnered with the soft malts. The finish is long and slightly sweet, and more spice. Hops come in well towards the end, and are very subtle.

Jun 28, 2009 Nice foam, leaving nice lacing on glass. Beautiful orange body with average carbonation in the bottom of the glass. Slight spicy aroma. Some brews have their spices kick you in the face. This one’s spice is mild, among flavors of mango. (2009 Lips of Faith version)

Jun 28, 2009 Pours orange with a thin head. Aroma has a little bit of the sour beer smell, some spices. Flavor is good, spices come through a little bit more and decent malt. Decent beer, I should have picked up the La Folie next to it instead, but I wanted to give this one a try.

Jun 25, 2009 Bomber. Never had a Biere De Mars before, so this should be interesting. A pleasant and bright orange color with a little white head that barely remains on the beer’s surface. Aroma carries a little barnyard funkiness, a little pumpkin pie-like spice, a little bread and honey. Flavor is similar to Avery 15’s blend of spice and funk, though not as powerful, which is pleasant. A mild honey/malt combo sweetness leads into a slightly farmy finish. Once it warms up a bit, the palate is smooth and full. A really easy beer to drink, especially for something with brett, though it’s not exactly an easy one to pay for.

Jun 22, 2009 22oz bottle $9 which is kind of expensive but whatever. Really nice looking orange color, wispy head that is really just swirls of white at the surface of the beer. The smell of this beer is straight animalistic like sweat dripping off the bristles of a feral hog’s back, whew its strong. Piggy, manure aromas, heavy brett and reminds me of Avery 15. A little prickly on the tongue but the taste is pretty refined, lemony but not sour, zesty almost. This was a good beer but given the price I won’t be making a second purchase.

Jun 20, 2009 Bomber (Lips of Faith) - hazy gold pour - nose of spices, belgian-ish phenols, honey, a very mild wild character, crackery malts - herbal bitterness - full but soft carbonation - starts with light phenols, very light funkiness, gingerbread, and moderate herbal character - these complexities are soon washed out by a honey sweetness soon becomes all you can taste from the middle, through the finish - maybe a touch of mango - starts out great, but ends up slightly disappointing.
