Description
In the beginning, in 2004, the Lupulus brewery was built to brew beers for the tavern next door. In 2007, the brewery decided to create a new beer, in kegs and in Champagne bottles. The brewers wanted to offer a traditional beer with its own unique flavour, using modern equipment. The region where the brewery is based gave the brewers the inspiration they were looking for. The brewery is housed in a magnificent old 19th century farm, a part of Ardennes heritage. The installation is based in the middle of surrounding green fields, beside a freshwater stream. The historical record is sketchy, but we know that wolves populated the Ardennes landscape in olden times. Some say that these wolf-packs came from Slovenia, where the best hops in the world are cultivated... True story? In any case, the wolf was behind the creation of a new beer: Lupulus. The name derives from the Latin name of the hop plant Humulus Lupulus, which means Small Humble Wolf.

Draft: Poured a dark black color ale with a large light brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of candi sugar with some caramelized malt notes and some dried fruits. Taste is also a mix of caramelized sugar notes with some candi sugar and some dried fruit with light chocolate notes. Body is full for style with good carbonation and no discernible alcohol notes. Great dark belgian Strong ale with a good mix of complexity and drinkability.

Draught Fine head, fine lace over veiled deeper golden beer. EU and other hops, other grains, grass & hay, ever so slight diary. Quite dry, with just a hint of sweetness (malt, cane sugar) backthroat. Again kind of other grains and signs of "hot" primary fermentation. Medium bodied, good carbonation, quite slick. Nothing outstanding, but still a likeable beer.

(Draft at Le Barboteur, Brussels, 21 Sep 2025) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, hoppy nose with bread, cereal, grass and herbs. Malty, taste with notes of bread, grain, grass, citrus, herbs and a mild grassy/herbal bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Fresh and well balanced lager. Nice one.

Le rendu entre une Lupulus classique et une Lupulus Nelson Sauvin est assez surprenant. Je suis réellement amateur de la classique et cette version en Nelson Sauvin me laisse perplexe. Sur le visuel, nous sommes sur un blond jaune pâle voilé avec une mousse disparate, une faible effervescence et des bulles moyennes. Le nez est sur une alliance de vin blanc, de fleurs, de pêche avec de légères épices. A l'attaque les épices et notamment le poivre ressortent davantage. La présence en bouche est quelque peu décevante même si la deuxième bouche est plus pleine. L'ensemble manque quelque peu de nervosité de surcroît. L'arrière est un peu plus élancé sur l'amertume. Mais l’arrière-bouche déçoit, relativement court et laissant en bouche le goût de levure. Cette Lupulus est donc intéressante mais avec trop d'imprécisions. Il est par contre intéressant de voir comment un houblon peut changer une bière.

Very good, persistent white head over faintly veiled, finely carbonated and very lacey golden beer. Yeast, light green leaves, floral, some exotic fruit. Again impression of white candi sugar, with a floral, almost (white) vinous streak - no doubt the Nelson Sauvin. Finish is sweet, alcoholic. Bit dangerous, the alcohol arriving late. Well-carbonated, dry. A bit... déjà vu. I preferred the Malificus, to be honest. Txs to Stef!
