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.

A yellow and murky beer, a head is almost medium and blond. Aroma has wheat, fruitness of lemon, low spicyness. Taste has wheat, hard to find fruitness, maybe some banana, harsh herbs, also some sweetness. Almost medium bodied. Drinkable.

Bottled 330ml (S-Market Tikkula, ABV 5.5%, )
Amber colour, medium-sized off-white head. Aroma has mostly rye bread (näkkileipä), typical Saimaa harshness. Light to medium-bodied. Harsh, a bit fruity flavour. Slightly honeyish. I wonder how they brew Mosaic Pale Ale and I can't get any trace of Mosaic. Similar junk than Saimaa's joker hop beers.

Can 500ml (S-Market Tikkula)
Dark ruby colour, good beige head and lace. Light nose is a bit metallic with grainy, caramel notes. Light-bodied, a bit watery. Flavour is a bit nutty, toasted, grainy. Bitterish finish. Somewhat (suprisingly) clean brew from Saimaa but same time a bit boring.

Can 500ml (S-Market Tikkula)
Deep golden colour, medium-sized white head. Neutral aroma has some green apple. Light-bodied. A bit harsh, then mostly has apple peels, honey and green apple. Low bitterness, not much of Noble Saaz found. Useless beer for me.

Can 500ml (S-Market Tikkula)
Hazy yellow colour, medium-sized white head. Soapy aroma with some banana and citrus. LIght-bodied. Soapy fruityness, citrus and some banana. Somewhat ok but watery, a bit like old time Lidl cheapo weizens. Now when in Finland you can brew 5% hefeweizen for grocery shops, no idea to water it down to 4.2%.
