REKORDERLIG Skogsbär, 4.5% alcohol I have high hopes that this will be a pleasant diversion from the tire fire that is VIKBO CIDER. Skogsbär means, literally, forest berries, but is best translated as wild berries. Pictured on the can are raspberries, blueberries and strawberries. This is the last REKORDERLIG that I have, but I'll probably pick up some more: I think there's an Extra Stark one that I haven't drank yet, and Extra Stark is 👌👌👌 REKORDERLIG sounds like an adjective, like "lycklig" (happy/lucky) or "söndrig" (broken), but according to Google Översätt, it doesn't mean shit. Svenskar are welcome to correct me! "Rekorder" sounds like the plural of "rekord" (as in Guinness World), but isn't actually the right word. Google Search indicates that it means something like "reliable" or "dependable," which is a good name for a brewery, if a bit dull. I continue to be flustered by Swedish adjectives. Okay! This stuff smells like actual berry juice, even though its ingredients are nearly identical to the VIKBO that I just had. How does this witchcraft work? I think it's that these tend to have a better balance of flavors. It's still sweeter than I prefer, less acidic, and I like the pear one just a titch more, but this is still a solid cider. B+
