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.

Draft at Knoxville Brewers Jam 2009. Hazy orange-brown with a small lasting disc of bubbles. Nose of peppery earth, florals, and dried wood. Flavor is light bitter spice, caramel, and raw oak. Light-medium body is watery, fizzy and slightly astringent.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a thin head, over a slightly cloudy copper (SRM15) body.....nose is citrus (lemon), ginger, light sweet malts, caramel, and barnyard funk....taste initially is sweet malt, then gingery lemon, then Brett like finishing light sourness, and funk....mouth feel is medium, carbonation fairly high. As it warms a bit it opens up and the complexity at all levels increases. This is a nice creation.

Serving: 22 oz. Lips of Faith bottle. Appearance: Hazy orange color with a small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma: Spicy, slightly funky nose with notes of hay, yeast, and a slight vegetal note that actually works well. Flavor: It reminds me of a light pumpkin ale. A little malty, some almost chocolate notes, a bit of fruitiness and spice. Palate: Medium-high carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium-short finish. Overall: Spice and sessionable. Not too bad!

22 oz. bomber- I bought this beer under the lips of faith 22 oz. label, I hope this is the same. Pours a golden yellow with a decent head, flavor is mellow, light, and drinkable. It also has a subtle spiciness that is very welcome in any brew in my book. Aroma is of coriander and orange, I could drink this all night.

courtesy of vasdef42, 22oz bottle. Pours orange, white head. Aroma, brett, citrus, some apple. Flavor, hoppy, light malty notes, spices and possibly ginger, adding for a nice peppery mouthfeel. Malt also gives the finish a light chocolate feel, coupled with.some citrus elements.
