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.

Bottled (from Prisma, Alko, Vaasa). Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is wheat, mild citrus and very strong metallic notes. Flavour is mild wheat, some rubber, grains and finishes quite metallic. Hmm, what has the brewery done to make this? Horrible stuff.

A cloudy and yellow, no carbonation and no head, only some bubbles. The nose is wheat, quite strongly sour, hint of bananas. Taste is strongly sour, wheat and some spices in the end. Medium bodied, almost none carbonation. When the carbonation is disappered is the joy also disappred. The strongly sour hefe, that would need more fruitfull freshness. Clearly, this is not what it should be, but at this the time points are what they are.

Draught @ Bruuveri, Helsinki

Pours murky light brown orange with no head. Looks like hot chocolate, not an IPA. Ugh, absolutely horrific appearance. Aroma of berries, malts and hops. Taste is a bit musty, hoppy and fruity with some stingy bitterness and caramel. Finish is fruity and bitter with some mustiness. The taste is not as bad as the appearance, actually pretty decent. Lots of yeastiness, perhaps this pour was the last drops of the keg.
