Inspection of the RXTE/ASM database of 4U 0614+091 reveals a recent flare which occurred on March 12, 2005. The 1.5-12 keV flux increased by a factor of 5-6 up to 0.3 Crab within ~7.5 hours. About 1.5 hours later the flux had dropped to 0.17 Crab; ~9.5 hours later it had reached the pre-flare flux level again. The exponential decay time of the flare is about 2.2 hours. During the peak of the flare the X-ray emission significantly hardens with respect to the pre- and post-flare level.
