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.

Can at Bistro Zizkov, Östersund. Tried to enjoy despite uncomfortable surprise next to me! A middle of the road hazy IPA (lighter side) that was decent enough. Ticking the necessary boxes for the style.

Keg at Ristorante Papagrand, Variney Chez Roncoz. Nice to visit the little bar across the street and find some very much local craft beer! This was a fantastic lager that hit the spot after a days skiing. Light with a slight touch of grass. Gluggable while still maintaining body. Top notch.

Keg at Hotel Røros, Røros. A gentle kind of IPA that didn't really go anywhere but remained easy and pleasant enough.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Smell of spilled red wine. Wine and slight coca cola flavours. Initial taste was just "wow" - forgot how much I love this style. It became more average over the glass.

Can at Bistro Zizkov, Östersund. You can't go too wrong with a classic American IPA. This delivered the usual profile for the style, but never really excited fully.
