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.

33cl bottle. Golden color, thin white head. Harshness, grass and bitterness. Malty with harshness in flavor, dry bitterness, chewy paper. Quite useless.

(Can, 0.5 l - BB 13.07.19, from a supermarket, 20180623) The beer poured deep amber and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had sweetness, caramel and cardboard. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, sweetness, caramel, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A messy hoppy brew with old beer notes.

50 cl can @ Kissasauna. Rated on 28.4.2018 Thanks Jore!
Aroma has coffee and mild vegetable notes. Flavour has bready malt, vegetables and some mellow hops. Excuse me – I ordered an IPA, not bread.

33cl bottle. Poured deep golden color with a thin white head. Tarmac, rye notes and herbs in aroma. Wtf. Bready, malty, rye and hops in flavor. Quite unpleasant. Mosaic? Nowhere to be found. .

Bottle 0.33l at home, Nivala. BBE150619. Color is murky orange with very small white head. Aromas and flavors: Pine, caramel, ripe fruits, some sweetness, some hops and malts. Musty and unpleasant. Some strange sweet bready malts. I wonder what is condition of this beer at BBE day?

Smell of grain, some raisins. Amber/orange colour, offwhite head. Aroma of malt, alcohol, raisins. Sweet with some bitterness. Not sure what this "American IPA" is supposed to be. Reminds more of an English strong ale.

Can 500ml (KSM Kampus)
Dark amber, even hazy colour, decent off-white head. Harsh, frowsty, bready, grassy aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Harsh, some fruityness, even honey. American hops are not very much present their best forms. Looks Saimaa, tastes Saimaa, bleeh.
