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.

Draught (shared by Lövis). Reddish ambery brown colour with a mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is caramel, mild toast, toffee and some mild leathery and metallic notes. Flavour is similar with bigtime wooden notes too. As it warms up the metallic notes get more evident.

Smell of yeast, banana and a faint of smoke(?). Hazy amber colour, very little head. Aroma of apple, banana, other fruit, some honey and yeast. Mildly sweet and medium sour. Fizzy carbon but low on it. Pretty nice surprise, didn’t expect this much.

Bottled (best before end 0206 (2006), had in March 2013). Deep amber colour, small white head. Aroma is mild fruits, wood, caramel malts and some mild toasted notes. Flavour is rather similar with some mild rye as well. A bit flat as for the carbonation, but otherwise quite pleasant.

A reddish yellow beer with a weak and blond head. Aroma of northern cranberries and malts, northern cranberry is dominating, but that’s OK, due to natural aroma. Taste of malts, northern cranberries, mild bitterness and it’s slightly sharp, slightly musty aftertaste. In the aftertaste sourness of northern cranberries are again there, but still the taste is quite short. Light bodied and very light to drink. Lots of northern cranberries that works quite nicely in the aroma, but in the taste a balance is missing and even nothern cranberries can’t save this beer.
