Appearance: Grängesbergs Pilsner pours a typically golden-to-light-yellow and transparent colour along with a thick crown with big bubbles, which instantaneously diminishes and leaves some-to-no-lacing.
Smell: Quite neutral actually, however one might hint a little malt and sweetness in the back.
Taste: Almost a bit sour at first then there's the aftertaste, which resembles that of unsalted popcorn. Grängesbergs Pilsner suffers the same fate with the taste as with the smell - all too mediocre, nothing really sticks out. Sure there is some malt to it, but it's really unnoticeable.
Mouthfeel: Watery yet somewhat smooth, the carbonation is sensible.
Drinkability: On its own it becomes all too anonymous, but would serve as a decent compliment to a BBQ-stake - a typical fire extinguisher, no more, no less.
Still way better than your average Run-of-the-mill(er), although that doesn't tell us much...
Summary: Grängesbergs Pilsner's main problem isn't that it tastes bad - it's that it tastes bland!

The colour is pale yellow; the thin white foam is made of big bubbles.
The weak smell is kind of sweet with a hint of dust.
The carbonation is medium with refreshing small bubbles.
The taste is somewhat sweet and soft; the body is rather mild with some anonymous malt. It develops into a slightly bitter aftertaste. The aftertaste is a bit dry-bitter with some notes of white bread and a short, simple bitterness.
Yet another qite unexciting pale lager
A note about the name: Grängesbergs Bryggerier was renamed to Spendrups Bryggerier in 1983, when the Spendrups family bought the brewery. This is a beer in the Swedish retro-trend, started by Spendrups a few years back with the unexpected success of Mariestads.
