Tässä on monitasoisen rohkea, mutta tasapainollaan vakuuttava vaalean kullankeltainen Saimaa Vahva IPA. Tämän oluen mainiota maltaisuutta tukevat paitsi hennot sitruksen ja kypsien hedelmien sävyt, myös viehättävä havupuun vivahde. Nojaa siis rennosti vahvaan mallasrunkoon ja maista katkeron ja humalan valloittava harmonia.

Can 500ml (S-market Tikkula). Now called just Saimaa Vahva IPA. Dark golden colour, steady off-white head. Sweet, fruity and harsh aroma. Touch of honey. Medium-bodied. Honeyish sweet, harsh, somewhat alcoholic flavour. Somehow it tastes similar to Finnish Strong bulk Lagers.

Mild smell of hops. Amber colour, white head. Aroma of grapefruit, spruce, bitter hops, sweet malt. Flat carbon, dry palate. A bit woody flavour, otherwise nice classic IPA.
