Can from Chessington Garden Centre, very near to the Land of Adventures. This is 4% rather than 3.8% as per the current RB description. As soon as I popped the can there was waft of spicey rye. Also some citrus. Light amber. Thick fluffy foamy off-white head. At first her have a low key bitterness with a citrus edge. However the bitterness and rye then really kick in, alongside a dose of resinous quinine. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish. This certainly has more character then your average Dorking beer. However it just seems a tad raw, unrefined. But for 4.0% does pack a punch.
