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.

The rain clouds gather in the amber sky. Beside me a boy bites into an orange. I pull the bubble gum out of my baseball cards.

22 ounce bottle. Pours a nice golden color with a decent white head that lasts. Taste is of spice, citrus, bread, pumpkin, dust, toffee and malt. Similar aroma. Good mouthful. Very easy to drink and quite enjoyable. A nice beer that leaves me wanting more.

Pours with a hazy orange hue. Some Belgian lace is apparent. Slightly bready smell. Very full mouthfeel with a cloying bitterness.

Pours a hazy but bright orange color with a thick creamy two finger head that settles very slowly to rocky cap and leaves a nice webbing of lace behind. Smell; nice citric orange peel, a little bit lemony with a good spiciness. There’s a definite musty brett presence in the aroma. Taste; the mustiness that I picked in the nose comes out more in the flavor. The coriander and lemons, as well as a slightly sourness. There’s a nice malt presence and mildly peppery spiciness in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, and very creamy, and goes down nicely. One of the easiest to drink beers that I’ve had in a while. I tried this beer last year and thought it was decent, but this year it seems to be so much better.

(12oz Bottles. Draft. 04/2006). Citrusy aromas. Definitely a difference in appearance between kegged and bottled versions, the kegged variety being much clearer. Both are relativley yeasty and spicy. Chewy. Full-bodied. Deep orange.

Medium nose of citrus, floral and bread. Light body, soft carbonation. Some caramel, banana, and orange hints in a moderately hoppy beer. the finish is ok. A decent enough beer that reminds me of a Belgian white.

beer pours a very hazy, orangish color with a big fluffy white head that doesn’t retain so well, but leaves a lot of lace. aroma is huge, with citric notes dominant, but some subtler barnyard and grassy/hay notes underneath. flavor is very nice-a crisp maltiness with some sweetness, a light hop presence, and a nice tang from the yeast. goes down easily. a nice effort.
