Supplier: Beers of Europe
This is Victory's German Pilsner made with all German malt and a liberal amount of European hops. The name Prima supposedly comes from when they first tried the beer; as Prima is a German exclamation of joy. I served this straight out of the fridge.

Appearance: A slightly hazy pale yellow colour with little to no head but lots of fizz.
Aroma: Definitely that lager quality mixed with a little bits of herby hops and an increasing amount of something similar (but not quite) that barnyard funk you get from lambics.
Flavour: Not much on the front and then a lemony fresh end with a hint of a grassy/hay note.
Body: Quite a thick body for a lager but it goes quite well.
Aftertaste: Very refreshing but with a nice and strong bitterness; this goes into a tartness, similar to semi-ripe peaches and lemon.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 7, for a lager this is really good (and quite close to an 8); nice and well rounded lager with a nice bitterness.
Price Range: £2.69 for a 355ml bottle, a good price for a very nice and refreshing beer.
Food Pairings: This would go great with whitefish, has to be something without strong flavours.
