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 500ml (Puuvilla Citymarket)
Clear copper color, medium-sized off-white head. Ryeish, woody malty aroma. Light-bodied. Harsh malty flavor. Although it is called "Celebration beer", it tastes quite much like Koff or other similar Finnish macro lager. It’s malty but also very grainy, like many organic lagers are.

Boks 330ml fra Kilpishalli. Aprikosfarget. Uklar. Bra skum som daler raskt. God aprikosaroma. Smaken mye sitrus. På grensen til grapefrukt. Avslutter syrlig & tørt. Mye smak for alkoholstyrken - og på boks!

Can. It pours a big, creamy off-white head over an almost clear, golden body. The aroma is rather lemony and piney, with some pale malts in the back. Rapidly diminishing aroma. The flavor is equally piney and lemony, with a decent bitterness. Medium body with quite a lot of carbonation. Very unusual this one, but quite nice, in a strange way. 141024

330ml Can (Thanks mjs) - Amber/copper in colour with a small head and a slight haze. Fruity and hoppy taste with caramel, grapefruit, peach and some notes of dried fruit. Nicely balanced and refreshing.

330ml Can (Thanks mjs) - Amber with a slight haze and a foamy head. Mandarin, grapefruit, peach and some earthy notes in the aroma. Hoppy and fruity taste with a fair amount of bitterness and notes of apricot, grapefruit, peach and marmalade. Enjoyable.

Can 330ml
Deep copper red color, good off-white head, some lace. Nice piney-resiny, a bit caramel sweetie, hoppy aroma. Usually Saimaan’s beers don’t have such a fresh nose. Light-bodied. Piney-resiny with typical red ale caramalt notes. Good long grapefruity aftertaste. Certainly the best beer from Saimaa for ages.

330ml can shared by Elisabeth at a rating session. Big, beige head leaving crocheted lacework behind. Cloudy golden coloured body. Citrus and dusty hops on the nose. Pale malty flavours together with citrus peels leading to a drying ending. Medium bodied. Rather overly dry, I would say. Accepted (Tromsø 20.09.2014).
