Commercial Description:
Biere De Mars is New Belgium’s exploration of the classic French and Belgian brews celebrating the half-winter, half-spring month of March. Our bottle-conditioned version, however, goes where no BIERE DE MARS has gone before. After gazing at its cloudy, yet glowing orange hue, prepare yourself for a celestial collaboration of oats, wheat, barley malt and lemon verbena, all of which is set into orbit by unidentified flying yeast strains.

Draft at Map Room. Not exactly what I think of when I hear biere de garde, but still a damn tasty beer. Pours a hazy copper with a dissipating head. Nose is citric and sweet, with yeast jumping in as well. Taste is a bit tart and clean, very tasty with fruits and bread. Nice full mouthfeel. Pretty clean. Damn fine beer, but not sure if its BdG...

Tap @ O’Brien’s. Pours a lightly hazed medium gold with a small off white head. Nose of citrus, yeast and a bit of spice. Finish was crisp and kinda fruity, great stuff.

On draught at Sycamore. Light, orange, cloudy, and quite tasty. Some citrus in there and a very drinkable take on the style.

Tap @ Belmont Station... Poured a cloudy orange with a white head. Earthy and grassy aroma with yeast and malts. Light, crisp palate. Mild yeast characters up front which created a spiced, lemon citrus graininess meshed with some hop notes. Tart, light fruit finish.

On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a very hazy, bright golden orange body with a finger-width, creamy beige colored head that sticks around for the session and leaves a light lacing. Aroma is light wheats, some sour lemons, banana bread, and a funky yeasty spice. The flavor is exactly the same with the funky yeast spice more pronounced. Slightly sweet maltiness throughout with an underlying sourness. Palate is medium bodied with a bit of a tickling carbonation. Pretty dry throughout with a small lingering aftertaste of lemony, grassy wheat. Overall, a refreshing fruity beer, just not very impressive.

Got this on tap, crushed around CaryTheDude and Jakebra. Aroma is sweet. The beer is borderline cloying. Some citrus, lemongrass in the flavor, but mostly sweet. This wasn’t something I’d seek out.

Tap at Pap. Refreshing texture and flavor - subtle hops, grass, lemon, sugar. Reminded me of when they had Devotion on tap: a US version of a Belgian that turns out quite refreshing.
