Guards and animals

Me and Karin went to Stockholm today to do some touristing. First we strolled through old town. Then we watched the changing of the royal guard, something I haven't seen since I was a young boy. We then strolled through town to Nybrokajen where we hopped on a boat. Hooped of at Skansen and walked around there for a while before hopping on another boat to Slussen to go home. Was a good day and I'm pretty tired at the moment.

The only interesting beer I had was this:

Nils Oscar God Lager 5,3%
It poured a clear golden liquid with a small foam that left no lacing. The foam quickly dissapeared and left something that looked very boring.


It had a very malty smell with some bread, but also something sweet and an alcoholic finish.


It tasted maly fresh and smooth. Quite refreshing but Im missing some hops and a nicer bitterness to make it a better beer. Now it has a kind of chemical bitterness which is very common in lagers. On the plus side it didn't have any of the usual bad tastes that most lagers struggle with. A decent lager but not one of the best.


Total: 2/5

I found a barrel of hops in an old shop at Skansen.
