Our Tastes-- New Belgium Lips of Faith

My first try at the Lips of Faith series is Biere de Mars. This is a very orange pouring spring offering with a frothy white head. The nose is a flat malt with a splash of sourness, in true French saison fashion. There is no hop aroma that I can detect. The taste is crisply zingy with that same sourness across the palate, no doubt given in part to the Brettanomyces, wild yeast strain, used during fermentation. Brewed with barley, oats and wheat malt, with additions of lemon zest and lemon verbena, this one has a light twang. It's hard to believe that Target, Willamette and Cascade are even in it. 6.2%abv and 195kcal per brew (wonder if that's the caloric for all 22oz?) I like it and would buy it for a palate refresher for sure.
