Bière de Miel is made with acacia honey famed in Belgium for its floral delicacy. Bière de Miel is pale golden, with a beautiful aroma of honeycomb accented by orange and citrus notes. The richness coaxes the palate into thinking the beer is sweet—but the finish is close to bone dry with a noticeable hop tang. The Dupont Brewery first made this beer in the 1880's, the style went dormant, then was revived in 1997 by brewer Olivier DeDeycker. We love this with mild fish dishes, and a cheese plate with dried fruit and nuts.
