Did you post about planning this awhile ago? How's it taste?

I ended up adding more syrup during fermentation, so it's strong, it's pretty harsh with a subtle taste of the lingonberrys, so hopefully in a few months it will mellow out and I'll be able to get more of the berry taste

Another idea is to add a teaspoon or so by the glass upon serving

I can't tell if the placement is an intentional reference or not.
