Commercial Description:
Ommegang Biere de Mars is a fine Belgian-style amber ale with a bit of magical space dust woven in: Brettanomyces Bruxellensis, a wild yeast which imparts added tartness, extra zing, and a touch of funk - while dry hopping enhances the hop aroma.

Batch #2, October 2008. Pours clear amber color with fluffy off white head. The brett is the most noticeable smell. Bready yeast and caramel aromas are also there. Slightly tart and sweet, musty, earthy and bready flavors. Medium body with lively carbonation anda dry finish.

The pure was like a unfiltered honey with a small white head. The aroma was citrus,with hopps and honey and carmelized orange. The flavor was light on the pallet with a light a summery feel. This would be a great thurst quencher with mild complexity.

slightly blurry orange-copper with yellowish fizzy head. nice sour aroma of grass and lemon peel. there’s also some pineapple and a bit of malt. taste is more mild, with hints of lemon, pine, caramel, and a bit of funk. super dry and somewhat astringent aftertaste, the brett is nice in here. nice medium-thin body and medium carbonation.

Bomber. Orange, copper colored, slightly hazy especially at the bottom of the bottle. Huge head. Funky aroma and flavor, lots of tart citrus, barnyard notes, and a mildly hoppy finish. This was bottled about a year before I drank it, so I’m guessing some of the hop bite had faded. A good beer to have with food.

750 ML enjoyed while at the Outer Banks of NC. Pours amber with a foamy tan head which disappears quickly. Virtually no lacing. Aroma not very strong but has dark fruits and sweet malts. Flavor is mild, on the sweet side, but finishes with a citrus tang. This is a very mild beer, not my favorite from Ommegang, but it’s decent and refreshing.

750ml. Batch #3, Nov 2008. Pours a bright melon color, with a thin white swirl of micro bubbles. Aroma is wheaty and raw, but its smoothed by a balancing sweetness; candy-ish. Flavors are more complex, but I’m really surprised to find no sourness. Where is the brett? This bottle is 6 months old, there is no sourness and exceptionally little funk. If I wasn’t so disappointing with the lack of funk. I would be impressed with a very high quality saison from a truly under-related brewer.
