Here is some info to get you started, I imagine a good clone for Saison Dupont plus some honey (and wheat) to boost the gravity would get you pretty close. Good luck.

"Biere De Miel (Honey Beer)Brewed with Belgian Acacia honey,Biere de Miel is pale yellow in color witha marvelous floral scent. A honeyed richness coaxes the palate into thinkingthe beer is sweet, but the finish is dry with a noticeable hop tang. Excellent with roast turkey, fresh bread, Thai or Chinese."

"Biere de Miel is bottle conditioned and contains only water, barley and wheat, honey, hops and yeast. It has a marvelously delicate scent of honey, balnaced by a dry palate, resulting in a beer that is both estery and refreshing. "

"Alcohol : 8% vol.
The Bière de Miel biologique (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 biologique 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®"
