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.

Hazy, golden color and a nice white head. Nice nose of tropical fruits, something sweet fruity. Taste starts with a decent sweet fruityness, hoppy, rather dry finish.

Bottle sample @ Marché des Producteurs Luxembourgeois, Place Lux Ixelles.
Dorée présentant un léger toruble, col épais crémeux.
Triple belge solide dégustée en parallèle de la Blonde/triple normale, bien axée sur l'apport du thym. La différence est saisissante.
Garde ce côté ester délicat typique belge, relevé par une franche amertume noble qui donne de belles notes fruitées sur les agrumes ainsi que des pointes de fleuri.
Le tout est bien exécuté.

On tap at La Tireuse. Pours a clear amber with a slight gold hue and white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has Belgian yeast and bread with some sweet fruits underlying. Flavor has flora and sweet grains with some light fruit and a bit of Belgian yeast underlying.

2023 Vintage; draught Very dense & fine, stable white head over veiled orange-golden beer; lacerings. Citrus and lightly coloured malts. Hopoils, faint vegetable frying oil. Spicy malts, dry hops (continental). Fruity esters, yeast flavours, and again this frying oil impression. Medium bodied, hopoilslick. Good carbonation. Better than just decent, but it's not going to whip up frenzies.

Opaque milky yellow colour with thin head. It's a juicy tropical fruit bomb but with earthy, resinous bitterness too.
