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 at the brewery. Soft haze on a pale gold. Fairly loose white foam settles to a sticky film. Nose has on the turn grapefruit and pineapple. Sweaty brett. Whiff of sulphur. Clean grain. Taste has a citrus sweetness, turning punchy bitter. Smooth mouthfeel. Some dryness. Soft carbonation. Drinks really easy. Lingering bitterness to finish. Bretty hops. What’s not to like?

Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous finish, more pine, melon, tangerine. Delicious.
