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.

Can@HBF2014. Amber colour, small white head, which vanishes quite quickly. Aroma is some strange sweetness, some alcohol, mild resin and wood. Flavour is alcohol, sweet malts, some resin, wood and mild grainy notes. Quite green applelike taste as well when it warms up a bit. Not the cleanest of beer, not interesting in any way. Close to bulk high abv stuff.

Draught@HBF2014 (The bruuveri version). Yellowish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is floral, herbal and some sweetish maltiness to it as well. Flavour is citrus, some fruits, mild leather and some slight sweet maltiness as well. Quite a long lasting citrusy flavour to it. 7 3 7 3 14

Bottled@Mallaskosken olut-tapahtuma IV (the saimaa version). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grains, rubber, malts, some earth as well. Flavour is grains, harsh hay and some rubbery notes. Fuck this. In this case I’m not gonna be kind and give a score mixed of the new and old one. That would be too kind to Saimaa. Or did I get a shit bottle of it? 4 2 4 2 7

Flaske 0,33l fra Alko Muonio. Drukket i heimen 4 Apr 14. Gyldengul. Litt uklar. Lavt skum med prikklacing. Svakt fruktig aroma. Smaken er mandler. Blir raskt veldig tørr & bitter. Litt bunnfall igjen på flaska.

Can 500ml (K-Kamppi)
Clear deep golden color, small mostly vanishing head. Aroma is sticky honey, grainy and artifical lemon. Light-bodied. Very harsh flavor, harsh lemon. Dry, not sweet. Odd chemical finish. Almost undrinkable and very hard to understand who would drink this as this is not even a radler.

I think this is the same, stated "Marsalkka Luomevehnä Suodattamaton, 6.0% ABV.33 cl bottle thanks to Ingo! BB 06-2014, sampled on April 18, 2014.Slight bit hazy golden color, off-white head. A bit estery, phenolic, clove, spicy, sweet, hints of sassafras scent. Sweet, some smoke, phenolic, burnt taste. Burnt, dry, rubber aftertaste. A bit heavy on the phenoles this one, and not all in a good way either. Fizzy mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Nicer scent than taste, taste feels off.

Draught@HBF2014. Brown colour with a firm small beige head, that leaves lace. Aroma is sweet malts, mild ryelike notes along with some toasted notes. Flavour is very similar, but has a nice earthy and grassy hopping to it, which gives a good balance to the malt domination. Good while somewhat cold, when warming up it gets a bit sticky and kind of "messy". Score given when cold.
