Appearance: Poured with a thumb's worth of head that produced minor lacing and retained fairly well. The body however is the star, as it is a deep crimson red with solid steady carbonation.
Smell: It really needs a lot warming to come out of its shell. Once it does though, I get a mixture of berries and currants with a bit of herbals and flowers. Like a forrest in a beer, but again...it takes a while for it to acheive potency.
Taste: Toffee malt restrained by a fruit/vegetal note that I can't place. Rhubarb? Blueberries? Bok Choy? It elludes me, but those strangely come to mind for some reason. It's very mild sour with a vegetal touch to it, and it is interesting. It lets the malt a bit off the leash as a few more berry notes as raspberry, currant and pair with a slight bit of straw that leads into mild earth, herb and floral ending.
Mouthfeel: The transistioning is an exceptional journey with plent of sights to see, the carbonation seems to want to focus on the middle of the beer and kind of seems to deaden the end of it weirdly enough. The mouthfeel over time, just starts to get a bit too dry around the 1/3rd left to go mark, but a bit of pacing there helps it out.
Drinkability: Medium body that drinks like a snack more than a meal. Settles down well, and easy enough to drink so long as you pace yourself and don't let that dry note get out of control. Flavourful, and something I'd want when I wanted a Trappist style beer fruitiness without the higher ABV that tends to come with those styles.
Final Thoughts: Labelled a Biere de Mars, which I am to understand is similar to a Biere de Garde, but brewed in March and not meant to be aged. This very much strikes me as a spring drinker, to further hammer the promise of new life yet to blossom home, or a late fall drinker, leaving you lamenting the leaves falling. Regardless, this stuff is quite good, and would highly reccomend.
