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.

50cl from Stockmann Herkku, Helsinki. Pours clear amber with a modest, off-white head. Mild grainy aroma with notes of caramel and hints of spices. Medium sweet with rather low flavour intensity and ditto bitterness.

October 2017: Shared 500 ml can, from a grocery store in Karigasniemi, Finland. ABV is 4.7%. Grainy and dusty aroma, not great. The flavour is somewhat better, malts and a slight fruitiness, moderate hops. Run of the mill. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pirkka Parhaat Amber Ale on 01 Dec 2024 at 00:01 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 4.5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.

December 2017: 330 ml bottle, from Alko Karigasniemi. ABV is 5.9%, 40 IBU. Malts are Vienna, Red Ale and Crystal. Hops are Magnum, Perle, Centennial, Cascade, Citra and Styrian Goldings. Cloudy reddish brown colour, moderate off-white head. The malty aroma is somewhat unfresh, notes of caramel. The flavour is also slightly unfresh, noticeable hops, but the beer appears unbalanced and uninteresting.
