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.

While very mellow and lacking for a saison, this is a nice light ale to have on a hot day. Thanks Gusler!

2006 bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, white, fully diminishing. Body is hazy medium amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly hoppy (lemon, herbs, flowers), lightly yeasty (barnyard, dough), lightly malty (toasted bread), with notes of band-aid and orange peel. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Fairly decent rendition of the style. One of the better offerings from this brewer.

Hazy light apricot color. Mild tartish yeast armoa. Medium heavy bittering. Sourish fruit, some chile pepper vegetable flavors without the heat. Medium light sweetness. Plum and sloe in the tartish medium finish. A doughy, twangy aftertaste. Nic NB yoked bottle. Finish got a little clingy.

Nice foam, leaving nice lacing on glass. Beautiful orange body with average carbonation in the bottom of the glass. Slight spicy aroma. Some brews have their spices kick you in the face. This one’s spice is mild, among flavors of mango. (2009 Lips of Faith version)

Orange colored with a nitrogenated looking head. Definite wheatiness and lemon in the aroma and flavor--though the body has a belgium twinge--otherwise I would call this an American wheat. I enjoyed this.

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

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.

Nice hazy orange color with a big frothy long lasting head laying on the brew. Soft carbonation. Apricot, orange nose - not very intense. Some koriander with grape and alcohol are in this fruity tasting brew.
