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@Bruuveri. Poured almost black with a small, creamy head. Aroma is wonderful, licorice and roasted malt. Flavour is strongly of roasted malt, espresso and dark chocolate. Ends quite bitter. Smooth and excellent porter!

Draught @Bruuveri. Poured hazy orangelike color with a nice white head. Aroma is banana and wheat. The flavour is typical banana and wheat, but I found the beer to be surprisingly bitter. Finish is dry and bit hoppy. Quite refreshing, but I didn´t like the bitter finish.

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.

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.
