Saimaa Vaalea Lager on suodatettu kullankeltainen ja raikkaan hedelmäinen täysmallasolut. Pohjahiivaoluen pehmeän maltainen maku syntyy kotimaisilla pelloilla kasvaneista ohra- ja vehnämaltaista. Helposti nautittavan ja keveän makunautinnon viimeistelevät amerikkalaiset humalalajikkeet.

Can (from K Citymarket Kivihaka, Vaasa). Can I laugh? Or should I cry? Totally depends on the mood. Golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is grains and hay along with some mild floral and herbal notes. Flavour is very similar, ending in a kind of grassy and mildly metallic thing. Now to answer the laughing or crying... Good choice of hops, but where the hell are the elements from those hops? This brewery’s head brewers should probably go learn how to brew with these hops to get something out from them. Alternatively actually use the hops in proper amounts... Greedy bastards. Anyhow, not the worst beer from them, but at the sametime not worth the money a can costs.

A golden beer, a head is dense, big and blond. Aroma has light malts, sweetness of malts, some aromatic citrus and grass. Taste is malty, some bitterness that’s slightly harsh, hint of lemon and grass. Almost medium bodied, slightly harsh to drink. Nice lager with some taste. Used hop variates are totally disappered.

50cl can. Poured golden color, thick white head. Mostly grainy aroma, slight citrusy notes coming through, but wea. Where are the hops? Flavor is similar, again some weak citrusy notes towards end, dry cardboard finish. Huge disappointment, expected more from this one.

Can 500ml (from brewery, BB 11/2015)
Golden color, small/medium-sized white head. Aroma is grainy and even a bit cardboardish - can’t trace those American hops. Light-bodied. A bit grainy and harsh, but wheat gives light fruity flavor to this lager. Maybe there is hints of citrus in the finish when beer is warming up? This lager does not gain much from American hops. Dissapointing.
