Tap to rate

Goa's first microbrewery, opened 2017 in Baga by Aditya Challa — the Edinburgh-trained brewer previously behind Singapore's Jungle Beer. Susegado ("susegad" is Konkani for the unhurried Goan mood) launched India's first bottle-conditioned lineup, including this Dortmund-style pale lager. Unfiltered, unpasteurised, cold-chained.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Susegad Goa Lager

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with bright, translucent clarity characteristic of an unfiltered Euro pale lager. The head is fine and white, settling to a thin collar with modest lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is present and steady, evident in the steady stream of small bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose is clean and restrained, leading with gentle noble hop character—herbal and slightly floral notes without assertiveness. Light malty undertones suggest soft grain sweetness, while the bottle-conditioning brings a faint, pleasant yeast presence. Overall impression is crisp and neutral, allowing the beer's simplicity to speak.

◐ Taste

Entry is dry and clean, with minimal residual sweetness. The mid-palate develops a light malty backbone—soft and unobtrusive—balanced against restrained noble hop bitterness (20 IBU). No harshness or astringency; the beer remains refreshingly straightforward, with good dryness through the middle and a balanced, unpushy finish.
