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.

Can 330ml (BB 11/2021)
Copper-golden colour, small white head. Harsh resin-wood aroma. Light-bodied. Although it is non-alco, it has harsh resiny Saimaa house flavour. Quite ryeish too. Even with 0% it is as good as Saimaa's pale ales and in its category it is relatively quite good...

Light, sweet and floral, some tart apple and a hint of candy raspberry. Not good, the non-alc version was actually far better.

33 cl can @ home, BBE 16.01.2022 Aroma has odd metallic vibes, menthol, sweet malt and some fruitiness. Flavour has tropical fruits, some resin, plastic vibes. Finishes somewhat empty with minerals and mellow fruitiness. One of my favourite N/A beers.

500ml can, thanks to djoeye for sharing. Next-to-clear golden brown body, pearl white head, spotty lacing. Mid-sweet smell of dough and spiced fruit. Banana fruity sweetness to the taste character, lightly spiced. Ends rather sweet. Fair enough. (Rating session with djoeye and Finn, PivotekaH7, Tromsø 16.02.2021).

500ml can kindly shared by djoeye. Firm off-white head to a misty golden body, rings of lace down the glass. Moderate caramel-fruity nose. Quite well mixed taste profile of caramel, bread, and fruit. Hints of bitterness to a short-lived end. Soft on the swallow. Satisfying. (Rating session with Finn and djoeye, PivotekaH7, Tromsø 16.02.2021).

Can 500ml (KSM Kampus, BB 161221) Hazy orange colour, medium-sized white head. Sweetish bubblegum aroma, light spiceyness. Light-bodied, watery, fizzy. Bubblegum, some banana and nasty metal flavour. Flavour is really odd and nasty.
