The flavors are not as bad but don’t really add up to anything special--no noteworthy hops, malt, or yeast characteristics. Although the cloudiness is intentional, it was a detraction for me in this case. bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 4, 2005 Bottle. Cloudy orange-amber beer with an off-white head. Sweet candy/malt aroma. Sweet malt/grain flavor with some citrus aftertaste. Easy drinking. Refreshing. heemer77 (4303), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 25, 2005 Updated: Feb 21, 2006Tried again, thanks to csbosox. I got more smell of cheese and a little sweeter take ont he taste. I enjoyed it a little more as it seemed to have a little more funk in it this time around. A slightly cloudy light orange colored body with just hints at a head. The aroma is oranges with caramel and some burnt nuts. The taste has some orange marmalade and black pepper spice to the finish. An interesting citrus take on the saison style. BeerRules (237), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Apr 19, 2005 Murky yellow color. Feels decently in the mouth. Flavor is a bit boring to me, a bit like the trippel, but with a sort of spicy lemony finish. Not bad, but I would not buy this again. hezron (601), Viroqua, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 18, 2005 My first saison, my first New Belgium in my New Belgium worthy glass. Cloudy orange color with a tall white head. Aromas of lemon fruit, and an earthy yeasty smell. Not sure if this is what people call barnyard... Flavor is lightly fruity with lemon and peach, the finish is sorta zesty with some black pepper. Medium body with a dry texture. Thanks to Doppelganger for the bottle.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 17, 2005 Bottle courtesy of Wohlfs. Pours golden orange with frothy white head. Aroma and flavor very subdued. Lots of different fruits present, lemon and peach most evident. Also has some orange and that farmhouse yeastiness to it. Good for a hot summer day. joeycapps (1466), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 12, 2005 Cloudy gold-amber w/ tightly beaded, off-white foam. Yeasty & fruity aroma of lemon & peach w/ a soft malty background. Light, mildly acidic feel. Flavour is yeasty, fruity, & malty w/ a light tartness & spicy, peppery finish.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 11, 2005 A decent offering from New Belgium. Pours an attractive murky orange-ish hue with a good head. This brew has kind of a clash of flavors. One one hand you got a good Belgian yeast which gives off a nice fruity flavor, but on the other hand you got a lemon zest flavor, it seems a bit uneven to me, but this is the only Biere De Mars i’ve had as of this review.
