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 from my Beer Gonzo Advent Calendar box, had this at home Xmas Eve, Thursday 24th December 2020 cooking Chertha Kozhi Kari aka Chicken and cashew curry with ginger, cardomom and chilli, listening to Loma - Don't Shy Away. Pours hazy dark gold with a white head, soft mouthfeel, nice, fresh, fruity with subtle citrus notes and flavours. Light pithy citrus edge, juicy, not too sweet, good.

Silky and delicious. Extremely happy to finally try some beers from this brewery and seemed suiting to make the first one an old Pretty Things offering.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced from Premier Hop. Pours clear russet with a creamy tan head. Lightly sweet with nice brown bread notes, subtle earthy bitterness, restrained Belgian yeast, a nip of candi sugar, dried berries. Light bodied with delicate, massaging carbonation. Pretty clean on the finish, more light earthy bitterness, toasted malts, hints of brown sugar. Highly drinkable.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 13/12/20 ... 2nd half just kicked off Citeh 3-0 B&HA. Light murky tones to an extremely dark mahogany brown pour with a well presented tan head ... you'd be tricked into thinking this is a stout ... off black almost. Nose is dried fruits, toffee, light spice, nutty, dates, light phenols, clove, yeast esters, nip of alcohol. Taste comprises figs, burnt caramel, brown sugars, fruit cake mix, light spice, trace of nana esters, dark malts. Medium bodied with bite, fine massaging carbonation - stellar mouthfeel, light warming booze at the curtain call. A top top draw Quad ... great balance, never to sweet, boosty but balanced with some dark malt qualities and bitterness.
