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 hazy deep orange, with a more lighter yellow tone to the outside. Aroma is malty, smells like bread, with some sweet malt notes. Flavor is spicy, lots of floral notes to it, as well as a little lemon and honey and a sweet alocohol finish. Thanks to Larry Pitonka for this one!

Hazy golden color with a very small white head. Biscuit malt aroma with some herbal and lemon notes. Doughy malts, light hint of orange and lemon. Mild sweetness towards the finish. Moderate bitterness and some citrus in the finish.

A beautiful, unique beer that is the color and hue of a harvest moon in the glass. Substantial and radiant, with a perfect half inch of stubborn white rocky head. No lacing to speak of, though I can’t subtract any points for that. Aromas are floral, yeast, apples and oranges. Tasting yields a full, hoppy and rustic beer with a long bready finish. Malt, hops, and fruity flavors are all held together by the yeast in sublime balance. An excellent beer from an excellent brewer. A brew to behold.

Pours a deep unfiltered orange with a big white creamy head. Lots of lacing. Aromas of stale hops, lemon zest, and the refreshing aroma of wheat. Very thin but refreshing with a very clean flavor. I definitely taste the wheat but no oats??. Will be very nice as a summer refresher. Big thanks to whaleman for giving me a bottle before I left the NM gathering.

Bottle: Foggy, burnt caramel color with a fluffy, off-white head. I definitely smell the lemon verbena and something else like curdling milk as well as other herbs. The taste isn’t as good as I was hoping for -- aftertaste is kind of like I imagine my little boy’s urine-logged diaper would taste like. I imagine there are other redeeming qualities, pehaps I drank it too cold.

Draft: very cloudy, orange colour with small white head. Sweet citrus taste with clear notes of lemons, orange peel, coriander and wheaty. Very refreshing.

Tap at Pap. Refreshing texture and flavor - subtle hops, grass, lemon, sugar. Reminded me of when they had Devotion on tap: a US version of a Belgian that turns out quite refreshing.
