August ended up being a swell month beer-wise, and several tastings broke the lofty heights of 4.75/5-barrier.
The best is a surprising entry from Õllenaut. As a card-carrying Islay fanboy, the Lagavulinesque peatiness of Turbahunt is indescribably delicious. As with the single malt, the strong taste is certainly not for everybody, but for me the smoky ale just grabbed a very firm hold of the “best beer of 2016”-prize.
Domestically the prize goes to Saimaa’s Joker Hop, a pale ale whose hopping changes between batches.
