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.

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.

On tap @ Bruuveri, Helsinki. Golden beer with quite small head. Aroma and flavor has malt, slightly grainy and bready. Actually not far from typical Finnish bulk lagers.

A golden beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has some fruitness, also hint of overriped fruits, some maltyness. Taste has maltyness, sweet fruitness, some caramel. The bitterness is slightly harsh. Medium bodied. Overriped fruits are reducing the freshness.
