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.

500ml. Golden colour, small/mid-sized white head. Honeyish alcoholic nose with some rustic hops. Light-bodied. Sweetish malts, some metal, a bit of honey. Very much classic Supermarket-cheapo beer even it was not cheap! Feels more like eg. Baltic than Finnish pale lager.
