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.

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

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.

Cloudy gold-amber w/ tightly beaded, off-white foam. Yeasty & fruity aroma of lemon & peach w/ a soft malty background. Light, mildly acidic feel. Flavour is yeasty, fruity, & malty w/ a light tartness & spicy, peppery finish.

Bomber (Lips of Faith) - hazy gold pour - nose of spices, belgian-ish phenols, honey, a very mild wild character, crackery malts - herbal bitterness - full but soft carbonation - starts with light phenols, very light funkiness, gingerbread, and moderate herbal character - these complexities are soon washed out by a honey sweetness soon becomes all you can taste from the middle, through the finish - maybe a touch of mango - starts out great, but ends up slightly disappointing.

Lips of Faith bomber. Slightly hazy orange color with a very thin head. Yeasty aroma, Munich malt and biscuit. A little barny up front. Dry and hay-like. Light apricot that intesnifies closer to room temp. Biscuity.

Hazy golden ale with a creamy white head. Yeasty malt with light sulfur notes. Sweet malt with yeast and coriander notes with lingering light bitterness, and nice lemony points. Medium bodied. Thanks to Joe C., via Capflu.

Bottle: Very thin, short lived white head on a medium amber body. Immediate aroma is of Juicy Fruit gum! Aromas to follow are catty, light alcohol, and musty, earthy, malt and wet horse blanket. Flavor is well balanced, with some toasty malt, but overall thin! Fruitiness is low, and there’s not much to the flavor. Some earthy flavors up front, hints of bitterness in the very finish, aftertaste is rather bland, but does have some pepper and spicy yeast. Not papery or cardboardy, just bland. Highly carbonated, dry m/f, hints of warming alcohol, and lighter body. Interesting beer! Sort of a clash between a farmhouse ale and a pumkin ale. Seems to be some nutmeg hidden in there, but it might just be the yeast.

Deep apricot in colour. Lively carbonation fizzles beneath noticeably lacking head. Smells of apricots and wood. Clean, dry palate. Undectable hop bitterness. Rather sweet with a pleasant spicy balance.
