Prime Time's Lager+ is a caffeine infused low calorie lager. I have to applaud Prime Time for creating a low calorie lager that tastes like a regular lager but the addition of caffeine feels a bit like too much of a gimmick for me.
It pours a deep golden colour with a frothy, robust off-white head that lasts and laces. It smells delicious with a sweet and juicy aroma of citrus, hops and caramel.
The flavour is so light that it's quite disappointing after the amazing smell, but I had to remind myself that it's a lager and I wouldn't really expect an explosion of flavour. It has a very watery taste of hops and a slightly soapy hint of citrus. The hint of caffeine is perhaps in the aftertaste that I can only describe as 'a bit weird'. As you would expect from a lager it's thin bodied and well carbonated so it has a proper lagery mouthfeel.
It's a refreshing light lager but it's more of a Lager minus than a Lager plus for me. The caffeine leaves too much of a weird taste in my mouth and I much prefer a beery aftertaste so unfortunately, Ale not Be Seeing You again.
