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.

33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 02/2014
No head typical to weizen even though I tried to form one. Just a small lace. Aroma is somewhat tart with citrus, some grassy tones, yeasty notes and hints of hay. Flat palate, almost no carbonation at all. Flavour is tart and feels contaminated. It has citrus, lactic acid, some grassy notes and hints of herbs. Actually this is quite close to the Koulu house flavour. Not very good.

Aroma has grassy hops, some grainy malt and distant buttery notes. Flavour has grass, grainy malt, some corn and butter. Finishes with some metallic notes and more grass. Mostly clean pale lager with no surprises. Goes fine with herring and varhaisperunat.

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Hazy golden small head. Fruity nose with evident cranberry. Sweetish with light body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Ripe fruits, cranberry juice and honey. Low bitterness. Strange idea, but well executed.

Taste is quite dry, nuts, wood, some pine, medium bitterness. The aftertaste is quite dry, wooden and piney. Medium bodied, balanced carbonation, fresh. Quite nice, brittish IPA.

Draught @ SOPP Turku’13
Aroma is quite light with grain, hints of hay, caramel and resin. Flavour is sweet with strong gluey notes, caramel, some toffee and malty notes. Palate is rather low on CO2. Not very good.
