The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

I found the pork to be a bit dry. I think I'll cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I was a bit skeptical about using beer in a pork recipe, but I'm so glad I tried it. The beer added a subtle flavor that really complemented the pork. The juniper berries also added a nice touch. I'll definitely be making this again.
