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 50 cl. Pours a cloudy opaque dark golden with a creamy, off-white head. Fruity nose, not really citrusy though. Rich, malty body, loads of caramel. Kinda sweet, yet with quite some bittering hops. No real fresh aromatics though. A very old school interpretation of an IPA. 221118 Aroma 5/10 Appearance 3/5 Taste 5/10 Palate 3/5 Overall 12/20

Bottle 33 cl. Oh that beautiful, elegant, curved bottle - love it! Pours a cloudy golden with a roughish, white head. Malty nose, but somewhat rough and grainy - some honey. Medium body, now even grainier, oxidized and tired although BB is 280719. Some late, bittering hops. Sadly the bottle is the best part about this beer. 211118

Bottled 330ml (KCM Puuvilla)
Dark amber-brown colour, tiny beige head. Sweet raisiny, caramelly and a bit bready aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Sweetish, malty, caramelly flavour. As a Christmas beer not totally hopeless as it has no spices added.

Bottled 330ml (KCM Puuvilla, BB 07/2019)
Amber-yellow colour, steady small head. Harsh and a bit bready aroma. Medium-bodied. Front is quite malty, slightly sweet, grains, then harsh grassy hops leading to bitter end. This pils would be better with less hops, malt base was ok...

Can 50 cl. 4,2% ABV according to the can. Clear golden with a tiny, white head. Soft, fruity aroma. Medium body, sweet malt, slightly fruity with a good dose of bittering hops. Flawless, but the style brings very little joy. 141118

Can 330ml (Prisma, BB 11/2019)
Amber colour, tiny white head. Aroma is ... cloak? Plus wet dog? Light-bodied. Watery, harsh, ryeish, sweet worty flavour. Even as low alcohol, tastes like Saimaan pale ale. Can't imagine anyone drinking this instead of normal IPA.

Can at home, Nivala. Enjoyed straight from the can. Aromas and flavours: Grain, vegetables, paper, hops and malts. Pretty hoppy actually but vegetables destroy palate.

Can 500ml (Alko web)
Amber colour, small white head. Sweet, a bit fruity, slightly grainy and alcoholic aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Sweet malts, alcohol, low bitterness. Very much Olvi Tuplapukki contender. Finnish malt liquer. Not annoying but not anything to have ever again.
