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.

18th October 2023, tasting with minutemat at my place, this was a shared sample from Grumbo. Clean golden pour, wispy head, light Mexican lager feel to this, it's OK.

Sample thanks to Grumbo, shared with blackhaddock. Clear gold, small white head. Moderately sweet lager profile with allusions to mild limey citrus notes. Not bad overall.

10/8/2023. Can. Region #422. Finnish region 11/19. As Saimaa Brewing Brewer’s Classic Sun Lager no reference to Mexican on the can but SUN appears to be written in sudo-Mexican font. Pours clear golden with a large frothy white head. Aroma is grainy, sweet malts, citrus, caramel, hay. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Easy drinking inoffensive lager, enjoyable in the sunshine.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Hazy pale orange colour, small head. Aroma of orange swuash. Very sweet with light body and clean, sticky mouthfeel. Tastes like orange squash without a trace of beer. No bitterness.
