Banger Lager
Banger Lager transplants the Bohemian playbook to India with a local grain—finger millet, or ragi—woven into the malt bill. The result is bright golden and crisp, with a subtle spicy-malt character that the Saaz hops lift into a floral register. The bitterness arrives clean and balanced rather than assertive, while medium carbonation keeps the whole thing refreshing and easy to drink. There's complexity here—the ragi and malt speak together—but it never overreaches; instead, it settles into a rounded, accessible lager that tastes like a beer made for warm afternoons and casual company.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Banger Lager
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
