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.

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.

Draft at Jerry’s. Hazy orange with creamy, beige head / Nose of sour fruit and bread / Medium body, malty, with good balance and finish / Big flavors of yeasty bread, malt, and oats, with notes of sour banana, peach and lemon / Flavors are muddy with too much emphasis on the malts and grains.

Crushed with Jakebra. Not much on the nose. It’s a little funky so that’s cool. Smooth flavor, a little spicy, little citrusy, little funky. It’s pretty nice. Better than the average New Belgium I must say.

On tap at Papago. Pours a light copper color with a creamy off-white head that leaves a fair amount of lacing. Smells of apricot and faint yeast. Tastes of both with the sweet taste of caramel on the mid-palate and a tart peach flavor that dries on the finish. Nicely balanced. Re-rated from one of the new 22oz bottles and liked it even better. Has a really comforting butterscotch richness to the flavor.

Listed as a Biere De Mars @ AZ Strong Beer Festival. Hazy golden pour with a noticeable tangerine hue. Only a small white ring for a head and no lacing (can you really get sticky lacing on a plastic mug???) Lemon zest, banana, and spice accompany a good amount of carbonation. Pretty good beer tasted amongst a bunch of better brews.

On tap at the AZ Strong Beer fest. Supposed to be the "lips of faith" version. Pours a coudy amber with a beige head. The nose is light sour citrus, malt and spice. The taste is light funk, sour citrus and spicy yeast. Medium prickly mouthfeel. Decent stuff.
