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. Did 2 pints of this in about 40 minutes on tap, also at the brewery. Pale, honey gold. Light haze. Steady stream of fine bubbles. Compact, white foam stays the course. Nose has white bread. Yeasty sourdough. Soft, floral hop. Touch of herb. Touch of hop spice. Smells fresh and inviting.Taste has well balanced, grainy, honey sweetness, with some herbal spice, and a little yeasty tartness, too. Soft and massaging on the palate. Foamy carbonation. Light to medium body. Light, yeasty, slightly tart floral bitterness to finish. Up there with the best so far, from this brewer.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Beer Ritz. Pours hazy deep orange with a frothy, off-white head. Lovely beer, really takes me back to 2009 when I drank a bunch of stuff like this, the original Pretty Things Jack D'Or, Ommegang Hennepin, probably other classically styled strong saison gear. This has lovely esters and yeast expression, citrus fruits, peel, a bit of grassy bitterness, wheat bread. Medium to full bodied with massaging carbonation. Finishes with nice bready character, some husky grains and grass, a little cereal, more, broad yeast notes, citrus fruits, nips of marmalade. A grassy bitter aftertaste really cleans it all up. Great beer.

Can from Wine Rack, Burpham. Funky floral aroma with spice and caramel. Cloudy amber. Thick foamy white head. Sour with a bitter core and spice. Gains a dose of sweetness into the finish. Light-medium bodied. slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. This is very soon out of the fridge and am also going to let it warm upna bit because presently I'm finding it to be quite sickly. Now that it's less cold the sweetness is still there but in balance. Nice enough but the taste is just not particularly doing it for me.
