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.

On tap at Panimoravintola Bruuveri, Helsinki. Clear golden with a modest white head. Grainy and slightly buttery aroma with ripe fruits and cooked vegetables. Sweet and buttery with slightly acidic notes. Not very pleasant. --- Beer merged from original tick of Organic Kaito Lager on 18 Aug 2018 at 17:03 - Score: 4

Can 50 cl. Pours a clear, deep golden with a white head. Very little aroma, slightly fruity perhaps. Medium body, some sweet malts, slightly metallic with a bitter finish. Saimaa er clearly better at Lagers than Pale Ales. 170818

330ml bottle, 5.7 % abv, bought from djoeye. A cloudy apricot coloured body, lasting off-white head, spotty lacing. Restrained malt-fruity aromas, half dry. Dried fruity flavours followed by a backdrop of citrus peels towards the finish. Medium bodied. Pretty nice. (Shared with Finn, Tromsø 16.08.2018).

Can 50 cl. Pours a hazy, orangey amber with a lacing, off-white head. Frish, citrusy aroma - I believe the Mosaic is really coming through. Medium body, soft carbonation, sweet fruitiness, again distinct arioma hops with a not overly bitter finish. Not too bad really. 070818

Can (thanks fatphil). Pours pale golden with whiteish head. Aroma is grainy, some citrus, malt. Flavor is sweet and bitter, grainy, nasty. Overall: bad.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear deep golden with a small, white head. Aroma is more caramel than Mosaic. Medium body, fairly sweet, brown sugar and caramel. Subdued bitterness. Far from unpleasant, but when marketed as a Mosaic PA, then I kinda expect Mosaic to be dominant, but it's honestly hard to find. 010818

Tap @ SOPP Hki 2018. Smell of rye, some yeast and earth. Muddy copper colour, off-white head. Aroma of rye, hops, malt. Nicely avoids being messy. Some yeastiness in finish. Medium bitter, medium carbon. Heavy body.

Can 50 cl. Pours a clear orangey brown with an off-white head. Nutty aroma - even a roasty hint. Medium body, subtle roast, hint of caramel and a surprising note of smoke even. 180718

Can 50 cl. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Flowery hop aroma, slightly yeasty. Body a little thin, hint of metal and yeast with a somewhat harsh bitterness. I find the bitterness a little too overpowering for the thinnish body. 290718
