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.

0,33l can from Iloisen pässin maalaispuoti, Parikkala. Hazy amber golden beer with quite small but cloudy head. Aroma has exotic fruits and pine. Flavor has exotic fruits and pine too with malts and hints of cardboard. Light body, medium carbonation. Fresh, someone might see this watery but for me this works well after sauna. Very nice non-alcohol beer.

50 cl can @ home. BBE 19.06.2021. Rated on 28.05.2020 Aroma has bubblegum, grassy hops and banana. Flavour has grassy hops, bubblegum, banana esthers and mild herbal tones. Really nice and easy-going hoppy weisse. I’ve been trying to find more of this from about 10 shops after having one – no luck so far. Where are you?

33cl can. Poured light golden in color, fizzy head. Sweetish, typical non alco fizzy lager. Sweet fruity and some wort like notes. Not a winner in my books.

Can 500ml (KCM Mikkola)
Golden colour, small steady white head and some lace. Fruity and harsh aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Flavour is similar: pear, apple fruity with Saimaa harshness. Not their worst (I)PA but nothing special this is.

Can 500ml
Orange colour, small steady white head. Very spicey banana aroma, some citrus. Light to medium-bodied. Flavour is also very clovey spicey with citrus and banana. Quite American version of traditional Hefeweizen. As such not too bad, one of the better Saimaas recently.
