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.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear, fully golden with a small, rough, white head. Unclean aroma of malt and brewing cereal. Medium body - again with these unclean, malty accents, some caramel and a rather bitter finish. Neither refreshing, nor pleasant. 280906

[Had it as Saimaan Talvi Olut III] An orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet fruity and malty with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet caramelic with light whiskey notes and a dry end. But the body is thin.

(Bottle 33 cl) Slightly hazy amber golden with a somewhat rough, off-white head. Lightly tart aroma. Fairly light-bodied with fruity, tart accents. Dry finish. Quite unusual and not very pilsener-like at all. 060706

Bottled. Dark golden colour, small white head. Aroma is cooked vegetables and malts. Flavour is also the same. Very "Koulu"ish feeling over this one. Some similar malts or hops used?

Draught@Bruuveri brewpub (but not brewed yet at the site)
Copper brown, small creamy white head. Metallic, mildly hoppy aroma. Mouthfeel is sharp, quite malty, slighltly harsh, some hops are there too. This is like lightly hopped version of Finnish mainstream lagers.

An orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and esters. The flavor has notes of straw combined with OK hop notes, giving it a good bitter end and aftertaste.
