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.

Bomber shared by ucusty at the Carolina Crew tasting - thanks, David! Amber pour with modest carbonation. The aroma is quite nice, with lively hops, pepper, and brett mixing playfully together. Nice full body. The spice and hops are up front, but there’s a very pleasant bretty finish to this one. Not quite as much complexity as you’d want for the style (and price!) but a very enjoyable beer for sure.

I like the citrus taste. The aroma isn’t too strong, but this is made up for in what’s really important, the taste. Fat tire might be a little better, but not by much.

Bottle at Don & Charlie’s in Scottsdale, AZ. Faint, malt aroma. Slightly hazy amber in color. Small, mostly eroding head. Fizzy. Not much lace. Fair amount of flavor. Some allspice. Interesting and unique. Not outstanding but no flaws and some flavor to keep things interesting.

Poured a cloudy orange hue, just like thier description. Had a nice head that lasted for most of the glass. I could taste the malts, wheat, a bit of orange, and a hint of apple. Pleasant to drink with a clean finish.

Sampled at the 13th Annual Knoxville Brewer’s Jam. Orange, white cover. Spicy fruity esters, pear, aroma. Taste is dusty, dry spiciness.

Had one of these left over from Spring. Doesn’t seem much different. Pale orange, with light medium carbonation and smallish bubbles. faint apples and spice with an equally mild citrus. Lightly creamy feel.

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.
