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.

Bottle - Pours cloudy orange with a whitish head. Smells like a bit of a white beer tart and light hopping with some european mystery aromas coming through. Tastes much better than I was expecting. Sweetish with fruit and creamy vanilla like spice. To thin but a nice summer lawnmower.

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.
