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. Also had a taster on site. Sits lightly hazy deep ruby red. Slim ring of beige foam. Looks well. Nose has toffee caramel. Cake mix. Bit of marzipan. Comes across like seasonal pudding. Taste is pretty sweet with a fruity vinous dryness. Loads of depth here. Super solid Belgian shizzle that drinks silly easy.

330ml bottle picked up at the brewery. Also necked this on tap. Actually preferred the bottle version. Anyhoo. Hazed gold. Slim leggy white foam. Nose has marzipan. Estery stone fruit. Light citrus. Taste has a dried fruity sweetness. Gets nicely bittersweet and a tad twangy. Rich and full bodied. Easy drinking throughout. Orange peel finish. Boss.
