Hartwall 1836 Classic All Malt Lager (formely Hartwall Classic)

Brewed by Hartwall (Heineken)
Style: Premium Lager
Helsinki, Finland

33cl bottle. Grainy flavour, typical finnish lager, slightly bitter. Nothing special

Bottle. Amber colour with a large off-white head. Sweet caramel malt aroma. The flavour is sweetish malt, some grain and a hint of fruits. Slightly bitter finish.

I know the bottle says All Malt lager and tries to be something fancy but it’s just your average finnish lager, or perhaps a bit above average.

Can 440ml. @ [ Ulfborg Tasting ].

500ml Bottle - Dark gold/amber in colour. Light malty aroma with some faint fruity hints. Malty and slightly metallic taste with grain and some slightly fruity notes. Inoffensive, but bland.

Golden beer, with medium head. Aroma is bisquity and malty, grass, some sweetness and metal are also found. Flavour is typical, slightly musty and slightly bitter in the end. Quite light to drink but not watery. Nothing to complain but also nothing to remember.

500 ml bottle. As All Malt Täysmallaslager. Finland. Amber golden colour with creamy white head. Malt, sweet caramel and fruity aroma. Malty flavour is not so promising as the aroma is. Quite OK though.

It is a warm golden beer with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of malt, slightly perfumed flower and syrup. The flavour has sweetness and notes of malt, flower and light syrup. Average without any flaws.
