Friendship 7 is our foeder fermented Lithuanian Farmhouse ale followed by 4 months of bottle conditioning. It was fermented with the Jovaru farmhouse ale, similar to a Kveik yeast, and exhibits flavors of candied orange, white peppercorn, and some oak imparted by the foeder.

750 ml bottle poured into a Spiegelau beer tulip. Slightly hazy amber orange with a short, frothy head of white foam and sticky lace. Complex aromas of fruity esters, funky sourdough bread, spicy yeast and subtle cellar oak. Flavors of dried and candied fruits, spice and cellar funk. Light to medium body, lively carbonation, and no hint of its near 10% ABV. An intense, interesting and enjoyable “saison.”

A: Pours a hazy, but not opaque golden/orange color. A dense white head rises with excellent retention and lacing for days.
S: A big aroma of fruit skins up front. Orange rind, with mango, melon and peach. Plenty of esters to go around, with a light musty basement like funk.
T: Like the nose, ripe fruits. Fleshy orange, mango and peach again. Just a hint of basement like funk, and this white pepper spice lingers on that I love. Becomes a bit tart and acidic as well, which drys everything out nicely. Really well done.
M/O: A medium to full body. Effervescent and crisp, and for all the fruity flavors going on, finishes wonderfully dry. No detectable alcohol heat, but its a big Saison. So this is definitely a sipper, but one I really enjoy sipping on.
Definitely in the "Imperial" Saison category if there ever was one. Fruity esters and peppery spice is the name of the game. Which is all good with me. There is enough balance going on that I can work my way through the bottle, without it becoming a chore or cloying in any one way. Another really well done and unique offering from True Anomaly.
