Description
Saimaa Brewing Company on yksi Suomen vanhimmista yhä toiminnassa olevista pienpanimoista. Juuremme ulottuvat vuoteen 1995, jolloin ravintoloitsija Pertti Oksa aloitti oluenpanon Mikkelissä 200 litran ravintolapanimossa. Nykyinen, vuonna 2013 käynnistynyt panimomme mahdollistaa maanlaajuisen toiminnan ja kasvuvaraa riittää vielä tulevaisuuteenkin. Tällä hetkellä olemme tuotantomääriltämme Suomen kolmanneksi suurin pienpanimo.

A murky and golden beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has grapefruit, mandarin. Taste has graperuit, flowers, fruit candies. Medium bodied. Somehow this is weird, especially the candie notes in the taste.

Smell of kiwi, sour fruit. Hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of generic hops, citrus, wood. Nose promises more. Medium bitter. Lively carbon. Decent, but too much Saimaa house flavour.
