Our Mutual Friend Malt & Brew

its weird that we could have two medal winning funky beers in here, but then also have this in the same sitting. not very good at all, despite being part of a series they must be proud of, a brett saison with lingonberry, which sounds good on paper, but really its not. its super thick for what it is, and this unrefined seeming, with a little pink color to it, a nice white belgian looking head, but a ton of body and thickness and haze, weird. it smells and tastes like baby puke we decide, but with the fruitiness it also has a sort of almost lotion thing, so we decided a baby who spit up on a cute mom, apple blossom lotion meets bile, also kind of milky, overly grainy, medicinal, and strange. the fermentation nuance that i loved in their others was missing here, seems sloppy, impatient even, and the lingonberry is weird, sharp, latched onto all this wheat i think, and just kind of yucky, some saison esters to it, way too much malt, sediment too makes it weighty on the palate, and i have a hard time with even a modest pour of this. a shame because the others were so good, but this is off to way off for me, not anywhere near their best, i almost feel like i got the first or last pour off the keg, definitely hope so, something was up with this. cool they have improved so much over the years and are doing brett beers now, but this is not their finest...
