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.

12 oz bottle from Hangman’s in Placerville, CA. Hazy brown pour with minimal head. Malty, aroma with some kind of spiciness to it. Flavors were similar with some orange in the middle. Ended with a decent hop finish.

Poured golden with a foamy white head. Hints of apple, sweet malts, orange, corriander and apple come into the aroma. Taste was not too exciting but pleasant with the same aspects as the aroma with the addition of caramel. Mouthfeel was not too exciting because it was lacking fullness in my opinion. Pretty solid beer overall but I was expecting a bit more.

Mehh....I don’t know, it’s supposedly a saison-like belgian beer. Kinda taste like Fat Tire, with a few hints of orange and clove. Nothing special.

(12oz Bottles. Draft. 04/2006). Citrusy aromas. Definitely a difference in appearance between kegged and bottled versions, the kegged variety being much clearer. Both are relativley yeasty and spicy. Chewy. Full-bodied. Deep orange.

Appears a hazy light gold with a small white head and scattered lacing. Smell is of spicey apple skins, yeast, citrus, and fruits. Taste is of the same aromas in a decent mix, making for an enjoyable brew. Mouthfeel is yeasty, lightly carbonated.

The bottle poured a dark pumpkin orange, with pure white head, and a little lacing. The smell is slightly tart, but yet oddly, sort of minerally like a wet dog. The taste is layered, but subtly sweet off the bat. Orange zest is in the base, loads of spice, clove, coriander, and sweet yeast. Well built beer. The most under valued of the line by far. A damn good representation.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy deep orange with an average frothy off-white head that lasted and had good lacing. Good complex citrus and cereal aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Same good complex bitter sweet flavor with a moderate finish. Good brew.

Thanks to weeare138. Pours a very hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma was very fruity, pear, apple and some wheat. Flavor more of the fruit, wheat, apple and a little tart.
