AN AUTHENTIC RUGBY BEER
Demi de Mêlée goes straight for the goal. This remarkable beer is characterised by its golden blonde colour. Its flavour will hook you from the first sip. No time to be caught in the maul. Just like a real number 9 taking control of the match, there's no getting around Demi de Mêlée.
A beer to be respected.

18/XI/25 - 33cl bottle @ HoReCa Expo (Gent), BB: 19/III/27, 5078A 08:25 (2025-1286) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!
Clear gold blond beer, big creamy to frothy yellowish head, stable, adhesive. Aroma: malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, barn yard, very rural impression, not bad. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: gentle bitterness, malty, grains, pretty dry. Aftertaste: a little bitter, herbal, grains, hoppy, decent one!

Récompensé aux World Beer Awards...Wouah !.... Soyons clair, quand je vois ce type d'inscription, cela est plutôt un argument pour ne pas acheter la bière en question. Et ce n'est pas cette Demi de Mêlée qui va me faire penser le contraire. En verre nous sommes sur un blond limpide avec une fine effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanche de 3 mm. Le nez n'a rien de particulier sur les céréales, une pointe de citron et de très légères épices. En bouche, je m'attendais à pire à dire vrai, mais ce n'est tout de même pas terrible du tout.... L'attaque est légèrement acide et pas très équilibrée. La deuxième bouche est plus appréciable avec un alcool qui s'affirme. L’arrière-bouche présente une légère acidité couplée à une légère aigreur qui ne sont pas très appréciables. Corpulence et longueur sont moyennes pour une bière qui ne fait pas le poids.

Helder goudgeel bier met schuim. Smaak is bitter hoopig en licht zoet met iets van vanille, banaan en wat bloemen. Heel goed.
