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.

Bottled (BB 02/2009)
Slightly hazy golden color, small white head. I am suprised to find grainy and buttery aroma, latter is a sign of diacetyl? Watery palate, weak malt profile. Decent hoppyness, some fruityness and then toffeish butterness, which gives unclean impression to this beer. Harsh hoppyness in dry, empty (although long) aftertaste. Slightly failed attempt to make a Czech-type pils?

Bottled at Petalax Beer Festival. Clear golden, brief head. Grassy and papery, light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Cardboardy finish without bitterness. An attempt at a tropical adjunct lager? With this much water in the recipe I can see why they named it after a lake...

Bottled. Pale golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is grass, malts and hops and some notes of earth. Flavour is very much the same. A rather bland and watery brew.

Medium white head. Copper body. Light perfumy malty aroma, quite neutral. Dry apple and straw taste with hoppy notes. A bit watery. Dry papery, rubbery aftertaste with chalky grainy notes. Not bad, but didn’t enjoy it that much. (0.33l bottle, Vantaa airport.)

Draught at the brewpub- Dark brown with red tinges. Malty, grainy aroma with a bit of hay. Tangy on the tongue at first with a fruity, malty taste with a pleasant finish which is malty and grainy. Drinkable but nothing special and begins to irritate a bit by the end of the glass. I should’ve had a half!!
