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.

On tap @ Hopleaf Friday. Poured a cloudy orange color with a slightly orange small head. Aroma of bread dough and spiciness. Had a nice malty, spicey taste with a hint of lemon peals, citrus/orange flavor. Easy drinking beer, not really my style, could be a good summer beer.

Lips of faith bottle from Brusin’ Ales. Hazy bright amber pour, fluffy off white head, and drippy lace. Toast, biscuit malts, and light spice on the nose. Lemon, ginger and light horse blanket with notable hints of brettanomyces underlined all over the zesty flavor. Slightly dry finish. Decent, but at the $15 dollar price tag I don’t think i’ll be picking up another.

4oz. sample at Brixie’s in Brookfield, IL. A fairly clear golden hue, with a white bubbly head that settled down to a light layer and small ring of lacing. The nose was a hint of yeast and bread, spice, and some banana peanuts. The flavor was light malt, woody, grassy and somewhat dry. Okay and sessionable.

On tap at the AZ Strong Beer fest. Supposed to be the "lips of faith" version. Pours a coudy amber with a beige head. The nose is light sour citrus, malt and spice. The taste is light funk, sour citrus and spicy yeast. Medium prickly mouthfeel. Decent stuff.

22 oz bottle courtesy of Binnys South Loop and shared with a couple friends. Pours a well carbonated sunshine amber, decent white head that laces pretty well, fairly lively carbonated body. Aromas throw a combo of belgian yeast, a touch of spice, vanilla and honey. Initial is a bit floral, a bit funky but that doesn’t play a huge role. Vanilla, honey, belgian yeasty spice.. Flowers. Light, a touch of cinnamon, clove. Finishes dry, lightly bitter. Underlying sweetness and spice sticks to the palate. A decent effort, just a strange mishmash of styles for me.

Not really much of a saison. Lacks the funkiness of a good saison. Very yeasty but no other flavors ever really develop.

Fruity, apricot nose; light orange color; spongy head. Apricot malt base with yeast component in the foreground with a little citrus. Tinge of hops at the end with some corriander and pepper. Turned grassy as the glass warmed. Creamy body and mouthfeel. Sweet for my tastes, but good.
