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.

June 09. 75cl bottle @ Poechenellekelder, Brussels. Pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Hops and orange fruits. A bit of yeast. Dry, herbal and hoppy flavor. Very nice. Re-Rating Jan 14. Poechenellekelder again. Really fresh and lovely bottle. Hops and mild yeast and a touch of funk. Great! 3,7 - 4.

Bottle Quite clear, yellow/amber body. Off-white, fizzy head. The stress of the aroma is citric (oranges) with some hints of caramalts. Heavily bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Very nice, well balanced beer.

Bottle that I picked up in Dranken Geers, Gent, Belgium early March 09, consumed 17-03-09 Pours hazy amber with a white head. The aroma is yeasty a touch sharp though only a little. Taste is really just a little too sweet for me, quite yeasty spicy but overall I found this lacking a little. A6 A3 F6 P3 OV12 3.0

75cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Cloudy amber, lasting beige head. Lots of floaters. Bready yeasty Belgian yeast aromal Some fruity esters. More of a tripel than an amber, but smoother and creamier in mouth. Yes, some hops on end, above moderate hops, but not particularly bitter. Good finishing hops. Its alright, great hop on finish and pretty good quality

75 cL bottle, courtesy of chris_o. Pours clear and golden yellow with a collapsing white head. Mild caramel malty to a dense phenolic yeasty aroma. Mild yeasty flavoured to a distinct hoppy flavoured base, good example of hops and belgian yeast going along a nice balance. Lasting yeasty and mild hoppy finish.

Bottled 75 cl (BBE 2011)
Clear peach-amber-yellow color, good cloudy head, lace. Aroma of dry hops, crispbread and wood. Sweetish malty with almost pilsner-like malt base, peppery with gentle bitter hops. Warming alcohol finish. Nice tickling hoppyness in the aftertaste together with balancing sweeter flavors. Aroma was not promising, but flavourwise enjoyable and extremely balanced.
