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.

Slightly hazy yellow color, small steady white head. Banana, yeasty aroma with some metal hints. Light bodied. Sweet banana, candy, fruity flavor. Slightly tart. Way too watery hefeweizen. Of course this is made for Finnish grocery shop markets but 4.6% does not work with hefeweizens.
