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.

Decent BDG. Pours orange with thin white head, which dissipates quickly. Aroma is a little funk and spice, and some Belgian yeast. Flavor is slightly sweet, but kind of disappointing considering the the nice aroma.

22oz. bottle. Bright amber oange in color with an average sized head. Aroma is floral, lightly hoppy, a little funk, citrus, and a lot of brett. Taste is of straw, grain, a light tasrtness, citrus, and of course a yeasty brett character. Slightly dry finish.

(22oz bomber "Lips of Faith - Biere de Mars). Clear, light amber color. Medium white head. Earthy aroma, like a farm yard. Spice and citrus flavors with very light malt. Avg duration. Thin, slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Fair lacing.

22oz bottle of Lips of Faith Biere de Mars. Not sure if this is the same stuff, but here goes. Bright melon orange with plenty of carbonation. Sweet and spicy aroma. Orange and ginger, a touch tart, a touch candy-ish. Interesting. The flavors are similar with a good dose of sweet candy, cleaned up by healthy carbonation and a ginger-spice-earthy character. Interesting, but it comes across as fake and I don’t know why.

Bottle from JW77. Orangish color. Manure, hay and funk city on the nose. Tart flavors, malt, earthy and woody notes. some fruits lend a nice complexity.

On tap. Pours murky rust orange with a thin, foamy head that quickly recedes. Aroma of orange zest, caramel malts, fruity esters and some slight sour and earthy notes. The flavor has bready malts and fruity esters appear on the front, followed by orange zest, lots of spice, and an earthy finish. This beer is on the lighter side of medium-bodied, with average carbonation and a slightly sour, funky finish. Not bad at all, and pretty drinkable

Bottle shared by ucusty. Thanks. I wrote: "pretty not bad," whatever that means. Nose is spicy, lemon, didn’t get much brett. Flavor is the same. meh.
