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.

A fruity beer with the typical New Beglium sweetness. Like the description, a cloudy orange/yellow body with a slight head. Slightly bitter. A light tasting beer on the palate and not too much aftertaste, so it was easy drinking and the lavor didn’t get old either.

Pours clear orange-amber, with a thin white head, little lacing. Smells of coriander, pepper, caramel, ginger and figs. Thin body, velvety and crisp. Flavors of citrus, biscuit, caramel, fennel, with an extremely mild bitter grass aftertaste, and a slight sour edge. Well balanced and easy drinking. Mild, but interesting.

Glad this one’s back. Had draft and bottle. Very similar. Pour is cloudy golden color with small white head. Aroma is hay, chamomile, clover, mild spice, wheat-like aromas, and a hint of malt. Flavor is hay, malt, spice, clove, and some earthiness. I remember it differently, but it was still enjoyable.

Best before date of November 2006. Pours murky, orangy gold, with a thin tan head of short duration. The tight bubbles left a small ring on the glass as a testament to the maximum height. Aromatics lead off with an almost pungent wheat twang laced with brett. Lemony funk with earthy overtones and citrus oil-spritzed hay. The mouthfeel is creamy and velvety. The carbonation wraps around the tongue. The pallet is more subdued than the nose would suggest. The lactic component so apparent in the aroma is missing, and some sweet malt with spicy undertones take mainstage. Layers of dusty, earthy funk peel away as each sip finishes, and theres a decent amount of warmth that developes on the throat. Finishes with peppercorns, paprika, and cumin.

12 oz bottle I have kept for about 6 months in the fridge. It is a slight orange-yellow color with a medium head. The aroma is pretty malty with a yeasty component. The flavor is distinctly Belgian with several spices. It is fruity and peppery. The finish is really nice, especially after the aging. Good beer. New: Tasted a fresh one tonight and really got the Brett in the aroma and flavor. Excellent!!!!
