caption_attribution_description: A bottle of "Fingerpori Juhannussimaa" alcoholic mead from Finland, featuring the character Heimo Vesa. The name "Juhannussimaa" is a play on words - "Juhannus-simaa" means "Midsummer mead" but "Juhan-nussimaa" means "fucked by Juha".
context_page_description: Sima is a Finnish fermented low level alcoholic drink and soft drink. It is traditionally a form of mead, an alcoholic beverage produced by fermenting a solution of honey and water, although nowadays the honey is usually replaced with different kinds of sugar, mostly syrup, which makes it a sugar wine. The drink also has a very low alcohol content due to limited fermentation. Sima is therefore a sweet sparkling beverage that is mainly seasonal and connected with the Finnish Vappu festival. It is usually spiced by adding both the flesh and rind of a lemon.
  Sima is usually accompanied by a munkki, a tippaleipä, or a rosetti.
