33cl can from Systembolaget, Kiruna. Pours hazy golden with a white head. Fruity and hoppy with mild malty notes and hints of yeast. Moderate to medium sweet with medium to low flavour intensity and ditto bitterness. Fair enough but feels a bit messy and not so fresh, but drinkable enough.

O'Connell's Irish Bar

Central location close to the train station. Might have been just an ordinary Irish pub before - it looks like that both from the outside and inside, but the taplist is not any more like that. They still have the usual suspect, like Guinnes, but also Finnish craft beer and plenty of interesting stuff from breweries like Amager, Omnipollo, Cloudwater etc. I guess things have changed since the previous reviews. Now it's certainly worth checking out - and I liked that they also had 1/4 pint servings for the stronger stuff (otherwise 1/2 pint and larger).

Very good now that it's also possible for Norwegians to use the self service order. Worth noting to click so you only see those beer without minimum order. Decent delivery times and good information. Handover was excellent - just showed a QR code and got a nicely packed box shortly after. Will certainly do it again, just need to time it a bit for the pickup when passing thorough Sweden....
