Anniversary beer by one of Brussels' 'nouvelle vague' micro brewers, dedicated to the Berg van Barmhartigheid, nicknamed 'tanteke' - the story, unknown to me, is elaborately explained on the label. Medium thick, lightly lacing, egg-white, moussy head, stable and largely closed most of the time, crowning an initially cristal clear, warm pale orangey-tinged 'old gold' coloured beer, misty and deeper peachy with sediment. Bright and sweetish nose of banana mush, orange zest, camomile, kumquat, custard, fried apples, honey, mandarin peel, yellow kiwi, straw, ginger powder, coriander seed, bread crumbs, dried field flowers, melon. Fruity onset, mild banana ester mixed with nectarine, fresh apple and green melon notes, sweetish with a sourish edge, spritzy carbonation (perfect for the intended style), supple, lean, bit oily mouthfeel. Mellow sweetbread- and breakfast cereal-like malt body, sweetish but soon bittered by a confident, elegant, refinedly zesty, floral hoppiness, spicy and leafy on the root of the tongue, with camomile flower- and white pepper-like accents, quite long and drying; lingering fruitiness and maltiness in a relatively 'clean' way. Technically perfectly executed, elegant, juicy and lean saison in a very classically Belgian way, ticking all the boxes for the style, if Dupont and the like are to be taken as the standard. Very well done, better than expected really, based on previous experiences with this brewery.
