Abstrakt AB-19April’s top honours gp to Brewdog’s Abstrakt 19. It’s the third AB I’ve tasted, and falls in the middle position of the trio (16 is still the top dog, for those scoring the game at home). 19 is a multi-color saison, with heavy flavours of raisins and plums resting on a sturdy multi-malt base. The high ABV comes through in the taste, but never obnoxiously. Warmth opens up the taste quite a bit, releasing even more facets of fruitfulness.
Domestically the top beer honours land on Bryggeri’s Rauchweizen, an unusual combination of wheat malts and smoke. Despite the unorthodox pairing, the result is worthwhile indeed, as both components work out well and do not crowd each other out. Haven’t been much of a Bryggeri-fanboy lately, but this beauty resurrects my faith somewhat.
