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.

Transparent color with a yellow hue. It has actually a bit sharper aroma than the commercial (Swedish) ones. Also the taste is not as much sweet. Still, I don’t feel the need for this candy-like soda.

Hazy blond color. The aroma is a bit malty. It also has a trace of cereals flavor. And enough bitterness. Pleasant.

Blond color. For being the Lager for the masses, this one is brewed quite well; the malt shows a bit in the end and the bitterness is strong.

Draught at the brewpub
Deep blond color. Light aroma of hops. Quite soft mouthfeel, with some malt taste and a quite strong bitterness that is less aromatic than expected.

Draught at the brewpub
Hazy dark amber color with red shades. Poor aroma and flavor, dark caramel flavor with some roasted malt and some malt acidity. Not interesting.

330ml bottle. Gold with a trace of white head; malty aroma; alocohol very obvious in the mouth, metallic and acidic, with a cloyingly sweet finish.

330ml bottle. Clear golden body with a small white head. Aoma is fruity. Flavor is also fruity, a little malty and a hint of bitterness. An OK, but rather tame lager.

330ml bottle. A golden, clear body with a white head. Aroma is malt and some hops just like any other European macro pilsner. Flavor is rather sweet, malty and at least a decent bitterness.
