Zoom Time from Loch Lomond Review

Dumbarton brewers Loch Lomond are a staple of LIDL beer festivals so it was inevitable I'd find Zoom Time from Loch Lomond Brewery there. I actually drank this while watching the euros final and I guess I should have known better than to drink a Scottish beer on the second biggest day of English football history. The beer comes in a nicely designed 440ml can featuring a guy on Zoom and describes itself as a 4.5% session NEIPA which felt like the right option when watching a big game on a warm day. Zoom Time pours a very hazy yellow with no head at all. To be honest it looks like a tropical fruit juice.

The Zoom Time from Loch Lomond aroma is very fruity, I think it's passion fruit, so like the look the aroma is more of a tropical fruit juice than a proper beer. The beers feel is fairly light, and the taste very much matches the smell and the look. It really does feel more like a pineapple and peach soft drink than something containing alcohol, there's a bit of citrus in there too, but really it's another one of those beers that could easily not be a beer. I'm going to give Zoom Time from Loch Lomond 5.5 out of 10 it's not offensive, and it's easy to drink, but really it doesn't taste like a beer at all.
