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. Craft and Berry, Sheffield. Hazed, glowing orange gold. Sturdy white foam is lasting and semi lacing. Nose has super juicy, sweet ripe citrus. Fleshy stone fruit esters. Some ripe summer berry. Definitely at the squashy fruit end the spectrum. Taste is similarly sweet, with a touch of pithy, oily bitterness. Light to medium body. Fairly oily. Fine carbonation. Gets more bitter towards the finish with more of the pithy and oily character. A tad too sweet overall, for me, but it stays really drinkable throughout.

Keg, third at Cafe Beermoth. Shared with Finn. Near black in the glass, fawn-coloured head, rich lacing. Doughy malts and some berry skins on the nose. Comprehensive taste character including stewed fruits, semi-tart berries, ripe fruits, and hints of spices. Malt-berry ending, long loved, noticeable alcohol. Quite heavy to drink. Some slow sipper qualities. (Manchester 25.01.2020).
