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 with an amazing montrosity of a head. Deep cloudy gold body under a mountainous rocky frothy white head that keeps growing. Has pretty good retention too. Nice cob-web-like lacing. Everything was nice about this beer, except I couldnt get past the aroma- had a strong Apple juice/ green tart apple smell to it along with some oxidation. When you try to block out the apple- you can get soem nice spicy phenolics and sweet bready malt. Flavor is nice and full with spice, fruits, bready malts, light caramel, doughy yeast and a nice moderate bitter finish. Smooth mouthfeel and great aftertaste. Thanks TBC2 for hooking me up.

Thanks to weeare138. Pours a very hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma was very fruity, pear, apple and some wheat. Flavor more of the fruit, wheat, apple and a little tart.

12 oz bottle - Central Market - Austin,Tx. Pours a murky light peach color with a thin but long lasting white head. Aroma has a bit of a lemony zest to it. Flavor is pleasant, but muddled. Has some citrus notes, with a bit of white grape in there. Some yeasty notes make their way in the back end as well. Mouthfeel is fairly thick for the style. Overall, decent, nothing to write home about.

Almost no head or lacing. Lightly cloudy orange with small floaties. Very subtle peach aroma. Apricot flavour, slightly sour and a dry finish. Medium body with a slight baking soda quality.

Lips of faith bomber from OTM. Pours orange with a high carbonation count and a bright white head. Nose is nicely spiced, not ovelry spiced either. Taste is sweet, a little too peppery and overall refreshing.
