The Bière de Miel (beer with honey) is a top fermentation beer with refermentation in the bottle. Already in 1880, this honey-beer was a speciality of our farm-brewery Rimaux-Deridder, very well known and awarded with many prices on various agricultural exhibitions. When the family Dupont took over the brewery, this beer disappeared from the marked, but in 1997, more than 75 years later, the Bière de Miel was “re-created” in an organic* version. The label we use on the bottles is an exact reproduction of the original. This amber beer with strong pronounced honey aromas, has, very predictable, a dominating taste of honey. But we cannot catalogue this Bière de Miel in the range of sweet beers, on the contrary. The sugar in the organic honey, fully refermented in the bottle, creates a beer, not sweet at all but full of honey aromas and ditto taste. Our choice of strong, organic* honey types result in a very particular taste. A real refermentation in the bottle, which continues for a long time in your cellar make this a really complex beer . The production is being controlled by Certisys and has the label Biogarantie®

Optisch herrlich anzusehen, in der Nase wundervoll blumig, im Trunk ebenso, hefig, bisschen tartig, langer würziger Abgang. Außergewöhnlich. Lecker. Ein Glück ist es eine große Flasche.

Bottle. Golden in color with a great head. Aroma is grains with a light honey smell. Taste is a pleasant light honey taste but not like mead.

Gold colour, with a thin head. Nice bready malt aroma, with herbaceous hop, light grassy note. Medium bitterness, with still some back sweetness. Solid, with a touch of alcohol in the finish.

Some light funk and grassy hops in the aroma with an interesting bready, grainy, pilsner type malt profile. The flavor light and a touch funky, with some more grains. This was very refreshing and an interesting take on the style.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dal miele. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e la maniera in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. La parte liquida appare velata. Il colore è ramato. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è pesante. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di frutta secca, pane cotto di recente e soprattutto di miele.

Bottle at home. Aroma is soft honey, Dupont yeast, fruity notes, light malt, hint of floral and bubblegum. Flavour is moderate sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Decent Saison with a soft touh of honey.
