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.

pours a cloudy orange with a huge white head. aroma is sour as expected from asaison like beverage with a yeasty note that is a bit peppery. there is a noticeable hop presence in this sucker, that is very grapefruit/orange like. lemony flavor that has some body to it. wow, the yeasty flavor comes through here. this is a nice affordable version of a good saison. it doesn’t quite measure up to one, but it is good on its own. wonderful dry chalky alcohol and grape finish. i will buy a 6 of this. i could spend an evening with this beer and not be ashamed. wow this is dry.

Poured a nice caramel amber with a gerat head and lacing. Fruity citrus aroma. Flavor is light hops and citrus,yeast, fruit. This is a good easy drinking beer that would be great cold in the summer.

On tap, hazy orange gold colour. Off white head. Aromas of lemons and herbs.The taste is lightly sweet up front, and is quite crisp and clean. Some subtle notes of herbal lemon. Nice, crisp. Why is this a winter beer? A would love this in the summer.

2005..are we doing that with this beer? I’ll start by saying that I’ve looked forward to this one each year since first buying it. As with most NB beers (I haven’t had La Folie), I find that I slam dunk (dump?) the thing into their own "worthy" glass to attain any head at all, let alone the two finger’s width their website advises one to acheive. Not to worry though, by my own admission I like the brewery enough to have purchased said glass. Anyway, this white head I struggled to create, dissipated quickly leaving me to taste this year’s batch. Wheaty aroma with an orange zest highlight. Very full body, which is quite pleasing. Tastes of citrus and a bagel with cream cheese? Sounds funny, but that’s what I’m getting here. This one is always fun and worth the purchase.

Cloudy copper color with a small white head. Nice mild lemon, honey, grass and spice aroma. Crisp feel with a fairly dry finish.

Hazy copper color with a small off-white head. The aroma and flavor were filled with earthy tones...grass, old wood, and soil...also lemons, spices, animal fur, and sweet yeasty tones. The feel was quite crisp with a dry finish. Nice.

Poured a hazy, reddish orange color with a small off white head that quickly diminished leaving . Aroma of lots of citrus, light funky barnyard, grass, lemon, and yeast. More grassy hoppiness, lemon, orange and other citrus tastes. Yeasty, but no alcohol in the finish.
