Birdiebeagle (778), Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 21, 2009 Bottle Pours a murky amber with a big light tan head. The head is froathy and lasting.Has thick lacing. Aroma is spicy and rye. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is spicy with touches of rye and cinnamon. Has a light body. The texture is thicker than water. Has a good finish with a decent aftertaste. This is tasty. Has a touch of sweetness to it. BillWyce (90), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 8, 2009 Pours red-amber with a white head. Sweet aroma with a slight spice note (rye?) underneath. Smooth on the tongue with a slight lingering bite. Malty sweet flavor with a rye-spice note. Very "drinkable". fata2683 (837), Panama City, Florida, USA Aug 1, 2009 bottle, pours amber, thin off white head. Rye and hop nose. Rye malt toasted malt, and some nutty characteristics of almond and walnut, ending dry. Slepkov (18), Ithaca, Alabama, USA Jul 19, 2009 Shockingly good. A deep rusted red, perfectly clear ale with a strong aroma of toffee and coffee. The flavor is deep but not complex, large amounts of hops (cascade?) promise bitterness that is absent but not missed, in this case. This is followed by a dirty earthiness. Terrific and filthy. I wish I had access to more! Jsawyer (282), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 13, 2009 Bottle. Quite interesting. Poured dark copper with some sediment and moderate off-white head. Aroma was somewhat malty but most noticeably spicy, clearly a hint of belgian yeast but also cinnamon and ginger. Flavor was similar although the yeast is not overpowering it does emphasize the spiciness inherent to the malt which balances it nicely. A portion of rye or wheat malt may even be present as there was a crisp note to it. Not quite delicate but not cloying either. I’m curious to know what a biere de mars has to do with our rowhouses though. blipp (1631), Newark, New Jersey, USA Jun 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours copper with a thin off white head. Sweet malty aroma with a hint of fruit. The flavor has toasty malt, a spicy rye hint, light sweetness and a dash of floral hops. Nice. Nejhleader (924), Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 29, 2009 Was a decent brew, Had an okay body, a nice hint of spice blended with a hint of rye/grain.
