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. Deep orange colour, small white head. Aroma is grains, some sweet malts, a bit herbs and earth. Flavour is pretty much the same as the aroma. Easy going, on the border to being bulky.

Optisch präsentiert sich dieses Bier sattgoldgelb und leicht trüb mit wunderbarer feiner Perlage. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone wirkt dabei cremig bis leicht wässerig und hält sehr gut. Die Duftaromatik zeigt sich etwas zurückhaltend, aber leicht süßlich und teigig malzig mit einem leicht spelzigen Charakter. Der Antrunk kommt mit einer sanften Spritzigkeit und einer ziemlich süßlichen bis fruchtigen Aromatik. Am Gaumen setzen sich diese Aromen fort, wobei die reiffruchtige Komponente, welche an süßlichen Apfel und dessen Schale erinnert, in eine gewisse Estrigkeit abdriftet. Hopfenherbe oder Hopfenaromatik, die für eine gewisse Frische sorgen könnten, sucht man leider vergebens. So wirkt dieses Bier relativ schwerfällig und unausgewogen - was sich letztendlich auch auf das Trinkgefühl und die Süffigkeit auswirkt. Im Nachtrunk prickelt eine leichte Restrezenz auf Gaumen und Zunge und täuschen so eine leicht frische Note vor. Die Fruchtaromatik schwindet langsam und auch in der Schlussphase vernimmt man nicht mehr als einen zarten trockenen Hauch Hopfen.
