Beer Advent Calendar 2013 - December 18th

Today I was told it was Christmas in exactly 1 week.  Balls.  You know as soon as it's Christmas day, it's pretty much over...and then all I've got to look forwards to is clearing off Christmas debt, working off Christmas podge and saving money.  T'riffic.

 Wooden Hand Brewery - Cornish Mutiny 

Well.  It was bound to happen eventually.  I was going to get a beer that wasn't very good.

I'd heard some negative things about Wooden Hand from a friend, so wasn't expecting this beer to be very good.

The bottle is nice enough, I should have noticed that they put apostrophes around the words 'hoppy' and 'biscuity flavour' in the beer description.  I always assumed that meant they were using the phrases ironically, or trying to be funny.

It's got quite a zesty flavour with some strong carbonation - there's an unpleasant chemical undertone though. It's a bit musty.  Seems to have some OK reviews around t'interwebs, not for me!
