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. Hazy, dark yellow gold. Thin and blotchy, lacing, lasting, white head. Nose has lots of citrus. Just ripe orange. Lime. Lemon. Light notes of pineapple. Some mineral and seltzer. Malts come across bready and yeasty. Taste is clean, crisp, citrusy bitter. Nicely drying. Touch of juicy sweetness. Light to medium body. Fine, bright carbonation. Drinks super easy. Light dry, and lingering citrus bitterness to finish.

Can, picked up at the brewery. Also on tap, at the brewery.Opaque, straw colour. Swirl of lasting, bright white head. Nose has yeasty bread. Citrus peel. Ripe banana. Hint of lemon herb and fresh flora. Taste is fairly dry and light, citrusy bitter. Light, seltzer like body. Foamy carbonation. Dry, crisp finish. Works well, and would make an excellent crusher on a summer day.

Can, picked up at the brewery. Orange gold. Medium haze. Thick, foamy, lasting, semi lacing, bright white head. Nose has sweet citrus fruit. Peach and mango. Orange sorbet. Creamy, vanilla malts. Hint of lemon peel. Taste is vanilla sweet, with a nice balance of juicy, lightly pithy, citrus bitterness. Light to medium body. A little slick and oily. Foamy carbonation. Well balanced sweetness and juicy bitterness to finish. Effortlessly easy drinking.

Can at home in Hackney - huge thanks to Garrold for hooking it up. Pours murky orange-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Nice rounded citrus hop character, lots of orange, melon, tangerine, soft rindy bitterness, pale bread. Medium bodied with delicate carbonation. Pretty well balanced in the finish, more melon and semi-ripe orange, a touch of pine, more supportive pale bread. Really smooth and cohesive. Lovely.

Can at home in Hackney - big thanks to Garrold! So glad to see the former Pretty Things operation in the UK now. I had this beer in its previous incarnation in August 2010 - really it was an incredibly different era for beer, and for me. Anyhow, this beer pours clear honey-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Nice and fairly crisp, with a bit of lemony pith, dry pale grains, soft yeast expression, a little alcohol. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly warming finish, a suggestion of citric tang, touches of grassy bitterness, orange rind. Great depth. Pretty dynamic. Fun stuff.
