Description
The Brewery of Saint Mars of the Desert was inspired by the earliest “craft breweries” of Europe: that first generation making beers in disused 19th century breweries with a pioneering spirit, unmoving passion and an almost avant-garde creativity. We relocated from America to the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire to make this dream a reality and haven’t looked back.
As a very small two-and-a-half person brewery, making world class beers and sharing them fresh with the public is about all we have time for. But who needs more than that?

Can picked up down SMOD. Hazed deep orange gold. Soppy white foam stays the course. Nose has squishy stone fruit. Squishy sweet orange. Malts don’t come across squishy but they are sweet and biscuity and ever so slightly spicy, in a rye like fashion. Taste has sweet biscuit up front with a moderate spicy zesty bitterness. Fairly slick mouthfeel with fine carbonation. Finish gets pithy and zesty. Had this previously and it seemed dryer and more vibrant overall, so maybe this can is a tad wonky but there you go, you can only rate what’s in front of you.

Dark brown beer, thin white head. Malty aroma. Flavour has sweet malt, bread, some airy hops, a little brown sugar, liquorice, a bit of chocolate. Very nicely balanced and very drinkable. Got a nice boozy warmth too.
