I was attracted to Prime Time's premium lager by the 95 calories per can as I often drink alcohol free beer when I'm on a diet. So, I have to give Prime Time extra credit for creating a low calorie lager but as you know I like my dark ales, so lager is never going to be a high scorer for me.
The lager is a deep golden colour with a frothy and surprisingly tight off-white head that lasts and laces. I was really impressed by the aroma; it smells lovely and beery with a traditional combination of hops, malts, caramel and light fruit.
The flavour is very light but not unexpected for a lager, however, after getting a whiff of the lovely beery aroma, it tastes like a watered down beer. There's a metallic aftertaste that is really the only hint of flavour I picked up. It's well carbonated and nicely fizzy with a thin body.
I expected a bit more taste from a 'premium' lager so I was disappointed with the very weak flavour. It's a very subtle lager that will appeal to novice palates but I prefer my beer with a bit more oomph. Unfortunately, Ale not Be Seeing You again.
