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.

Thick-set, irregular amberish cream coloured stable head over viscously pouring brown-black beer. Coffee, I Café Noir /I cookies, mocha, sweet malts, sweet meatroast. Sweet & roasty, very little bitterness until a woody finish. Dark green leaves, hint @ tobacco, and again coffee-flavoured cookies, but the finish is more coffee drab. Thick MF, slick to viscous, chewy, warming. Good carbonation. Bit too sweet, not bad. Txs to Stef!

Tap @ Titi Twister, Bordeaux. Glowing amber with a small head. Belgian style pale malts are infused with a hint of red ale character, perhaps best represented in its aroma, but still a Flanders brew in essence.

(Keg at La Maison, 20240612) The beer poured red and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, caramel Belgian style yeast and grass. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, caramel, grass, Belgian style yeast and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, sweet and bitter. Too much caramel malts.
