Svea

Made for Sweden, and named for it: Svea comes from Svea rike, the older name of the kingdom, and Moder Svea is the country's own personification. Fredrik Söderberg's brief was to interpret the Swedish character, and he settled on the swing between seasons — front and back carry the summer and winter solstice, with a story running spring to winter around the glass, framed by the Midgard Serpent as the old sagas frame theirs. The flavour follows the same logic: apple for Swedish late summer, ginger for the dark of the year, acidity meeting warmth.
