Can from Systembolaget. Am I getting old and grumpy and jaded from these kinda beers? Maybe. The aroma is that of squishy sweets - the ones with a white milky bottom and a fruit jelly top. That was also the kind of taste really - extremely sweet. High in fruits. Peachy pink look. It's OK but njaaa.

Bottle from Systembolaget. The end feeling is correct for the style but the beer came across as bland and unremarkable.

Can from Bistro Zizkov, Östersund. Thick hazy IPA. Delivered bitterness and flavour in reasonable measure but was not a wow moment to be had.

Can from Systembolaget online. Aroma is not kicking so much up for me. Bright orange gold colour, flat.There is some British magic going on in the immediate finish but it gives way to quite a bit of sweetness. The previous version was superior!

Can from Systembolaget. Aroma is somewhere between gentle eichbier and pork. Odd colour - like apple juice. Flavour is quite spot on for a smoked lager but it doesn't quite have the satisfactory lingering ending. Close to excellence but just some final steps missing.

Can from Systembolaget. This didn't really excite in any way with the abv coming across as a bit uncessary. Decent enough.

Can from Systembolaget. Gorgeous aged cider aroma, on verge of lambic and calvados. Deep gold. Lovely deep butch aroma with a meatiness to it you wouldn't expect.

Bottle from Systembolaget in Härnösand. Nice gentle hop aroma. Thin. I am not sure if that taste is amateur or not but it is nice to me. Classic Swedish golden with a touch of Belgian strong ale sweetness. Good bitterness.
