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.

330ml in a nice designed bottle, another beer gift from Finn, many thanks. Partially lasting, fluffy white head. Spotty lacework. Almost clear golden coloured body. Grassy hops on the nose together with hints of mid-sweet grainy malts. Not that well blended taste character of apricot, pumpkin and caramel malts. Citrus bitterness to the ending. Heavy to drink. Alright, far from great (Tromsø 14.04.2014).
