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.

50cl can. Pours slightly hazy pale golden with a modest, white head. Mild fruity and hoppy aroma with pale malt. Feels week and watery and not very flavourful, but still drinkable enough. Rather boring.

50cl can. Poured hazy and orange looking. Fruity nose with malts and juiciness. Light bodied, candy notes with somewhat harsh bitterness that settles. Forgettable.

Can 500ml (S-Market Tikkula)
Hazy dark orange colour, small steady white head and lace. Aroma is malty and a bit tropical fruit juicy. Light-bodied. Flavour is malty and bitter, underlying gummy bears and tropical fruits. Harsh bitter aftertaste. Well, some NEIPA character is there and it is better than Olvi NEIPA but same time lots of Saimaan house flavours too.

50 cl can @ Utsjoki, BBE 02.11.2022 Aroma has bready malt, fruit candy and tropical fruits. Flavour has grapefruit, fruit candy, odd artifical vibe. Mellow hop bite in the finish. Decent, clean and drinkable, quite what you'd expect to get when purchasing a NEIPA from big-ish brewery. Could have more character to it.
