Tasted on: Tuesday March 30th, 2010.
Note: This is a very drinkable beer. I didn’t find much wrong with it, but nothing stood out to make me give it more than a good rating, as I have had many Bière de Garde’s which I’ve liked better.

On the Label: Biere de Mars (French for “March beer”) is a special style of beer created at farmhouse breweries in northern France. Brewed in winter with a fresh crop of malt and hops. It was always the brewer’s favorite. True to tradition, Southampton Biere de Mars is an artfully crafted amber ale with subtle complexity and a crisp finish..
From their website: Southampton’s Biere de Mars is brewmaster Phil Markowski’s classic interpretation of an authentic French farmhouse-style Biere de Mars. Our version is brewed with a blend of wheat and barley malts and a generous amount of continental hops. It is cool fermented and aged to give it a clean, smooth, lager-like character.
