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.

orange aroma. cloudy amber/copper color. Not one of my favorite New Belgium beers but it is a nice change from the usual. easy drink with a dry finish. I think I’ll have another.

This was certainly better than the 1554 stuff I had tried which tasted like rotting garbage. This is a quality, complex spring ale. Not really my style, so not spectacular, but decent for what it is.

Too strange for me. The good: Very nice color and mouthfeel very complex taste. The bad: Unfortunately the complexity seems to be made from a large variety of crap. I’m guessing that the big spill bucket at the end of the bar tastes something like this. The nose is worse than the taste. I’ve got 5 more so maybe one will be better.

A cloudy dark amber color with a small off white head. Gym socks and flowers, sweet yet funky, strange for sure! Circus tent, tangy, malty. Not quite the barnyard scents of a Lambic but still quite funky. Not too sure on this one, interesting yes but not something I could drink more than one of. Nice feel. Thank you Buckdich

Definitely smells like an ale. Toasted malt and hops, with a hint of sweet orange and lemon and stronger coriander. Just a but cloudy, dark straw to light orangey color with very little head. Starts a bit sweet, moves into spicy hoppiness. Vanillaey aftertaste at the verrry end. This is surprisingly clean.

Draft: very cloudy, orange colour with small white head. Sweet citrus taste with clear notes of lemons, orange peel, coriander and wheaty. Very refreshing.

Super hazy caramel color, thin white fizzy head. Complex nose of funky farm yard, lemony, soft oak, and touches of vanilla. Flavor has less funk and more emphasis on the lemony, vanilla, and oaky tones. Soft peppery and nutty earthy tones provide some additional complexities as you get closer to the mid and end point. Medium bodied, soft carbonation and smooth, drying, semi-bittersweet finish. A very nice change of pace from the everyday variety....

The rain clouds gather in the amber sky. Beside me a boy bites into an orange. I pull the bubble gum out of my baseball cards.
