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 HoTM. It pours hazy golden with a thick, frothy white head. The aroma is green, weedy, yet soft and sweet, peachy, orange creamsicle and orange gummy bears. The taste is dry, weedy, green, fairly sweet, bitter - sweet, quite muted actually, apricot, peach, persimmon, orange creamsicle and just a touch of spice with a dryish. Medium body and average carbonation. A bit muted/muddled. Its ok, but aub-par for SMOD.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 06/11/20. Murky orange amber with a well presented lasting off white head. Nose is orange pith, grass, melon, dusty tropical fruits, lemon zest. Taste comprises orange zest, ripe citric flesh, grass, yeast esters, light astringency, peach. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced hop bitterness. Decent enough IPA but not the usual form from SMOD offered .... just a little cluttered this one ... kind of 10% Belgian leaning.

More WC than I’d expect, some fruit up front, but quickly turns dank and hoppy
