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 at HBF 2010. Poured a body that’s almost black with an off white heat. Sweet malty nose, some alcohol. Sweet taste. slightly fruity, light caramel, some hop.... erm, couldn’t have written more vague notes if i’d tried. Thought it was nice in the end though.

Guess this is the one my friend Ossi had at Bruuveri (and a thanks to him!). Thick white head, golden body. Honey in the nose, honeyish maltiness in the taste, surrounded by a prickly, slightly acidic hopiness. Ok.

33 cl bottle from Citymarket. Pours amber in color with a small head. Aroma is mostly malty. Flavor very malty as well, did not find much more in it. Quite traditional christmas brew, enjoyed it with ham.

Draught@Bruuveri, Helsinki. Hazy yellow colour, mediumsized white head, that vanishes quite quickly. Aroma is apples, some yeast and mild wooden notes as well. Rotten apples as well. Flavour is quite dry and non-sweet apple along with some wooden notes. Lacks some funkyness.

Bottle. Color of bright copper, the foam was not glarge. Bread, malt, fruit and some spice in aroma. Bread tones and maybe a bit of hay. Pretty sweet, bitterness was low. Body rather weak, the aftertaste is not too long. There was some nuts in the finish.

Bottle from Tbone, thanks! Amber color. Malty, vinous dusty aroma with cookie dough. Grainy sweet flavor with cookies and a hint of perfume. Sticky mouthfeel.

Draught@SOPP. Clear golden color, small white head. Spicey white peppery, a bit wheaty nose. Slightly sour, white peppery, light wheat. Lemony sourness is a bit odd here, but at least this has some flavors for being Kristallweizen :)
