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.

12oz. bottle: This one pours with some head to it, but dies off quickly. Hazy and somewhat orange in color. I get some citrus and breadiness in the nose. It has the main taste of a wheat beer body, with breadiness and spiciness also. It is good enjoyable brew.

Orange moon looming with promise. Okay, enough with the pottery. Rather nice, pleasantly subtle yeasty, fruity, soft and easily drinkable.

Pale opaque amber with a small white head and good carbonation. Yeasty sweet aroma with some herbal, toffee and citrus notes, hops and a bit of wet cardboard. Subtle and smooth with decent body. Spritzy. A little bitterness in the finish. Some strange vegetable flavors with some spiciness. I don’t get much citrus flavor but it comes out in the belch.

Hazy orange color with a pretty good pale orange head that fades quickly (but leaves nice lace on the glass). Fruity/estery aroma. Citrus sourness balanced with hops. Not overly yeasty.

Pours a cloudy orange color. Tastes of oranges and some other funky fruit flavor. Some spicy notes. Worth trying, but dont expect to much.

Bottle thanks to 17thfloor. Almost clear amber with fluffy white head and excelent lacing. Aroma is lemongrass, Brett and light sweetness. Flavor is Brett, grass, lemon, grainy, light alc, slightly sweet, mango, not bad. Light bodied and watery, light carbonation. Okay.

Tap @ Belmont Station... Poured a cloudy orange with a white head. Earthy and grassy aroma with yeast and malts. Light, crisp palate. Mild yeast characters up front which created a spiced, lemon citrus graininess meshed with some hop notes. Tart, light fruit finish.

Beer pours hazy orange hue with a white head that very rapidly completetly dissipates. Aroma is fruity with a little yeast. Flavor is citric spicy but a bit on the flat side. Decent, but a bit disappointing.
