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. Looks good enough. Looks like peach necter, but no real head. Yuck. Smells like one of my kid’s poopy diapers. That is way hard to get past. Makes it hard to taste anything. Carbonation dances over the tongue. Pretty nasty.

A nice orange colored amber beer. Good head and a very nice citrus nose. Liked the flavors on this beer. This was very drinkable and the frutiness and spices where just perfect to the balance of malts. A good after winter beers...beer..

Medium nose of citrus, floral and bread. Light body, soft carbonation. Some caramel, banana, and orange hints in a moderately hoppy beer. the finish is ok. A decent enough beer that reminds me of a Belgian white.

Pours a hazy orangish/gold color. Aromas of tart fruit, bread, hint of citrus. Flavor is malty/citrus. Leaves a yeasty orange aftertaste. Not for me.

A mixture of sour citrus and wheat combine to create the aroma of this beer. A golden-orange color and moderate head and decent lacing are the signature markings of this beer. The taste is of bitter wheat marked by mild citrus inflections. The taste fades fast.

Pours translucent orange with a thick head, which leaves nice lacing. Aroma is full of citrus and bread. Slides over the tounge with full body and a hoppy bite. Lingering aftertaste (with this beer, its a good thing). One of my favorites!!!

The color of this beer is great. There is a lot of flavors in this beer, and some well hidden alcohol. This is one that goes down smooth and requires some pacing.

My favorite beer for three months of the year. Fruity and spicy, but with no flavors going "over the top". Alcohol content is not terribly strong, and the balanced citrus and grain flavors shine through. Goes down so easy it can get you in to trouble. Very refreshing, and an incredibly odd color.
