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.

Sample draft. Almost clear dark golden with a fluffy head. Stone fruit, Belgian yeast, spices, gin, vodka, tequila. Dry hoppy bitterness, boozy fruity sweetness. Medium to full bodied, oily texture, lively carbonated, dry bitter boozy finish. Classic Belgian Tripel, don’t like the booziness in here..

Один сет за два часа. И так хорошо. Никакого авторитарного прессинга от Aliaksei L.

33cl can, merci à Tim. BB 31/03/2024, canned 31/03/2023.
Rien sur leur site sur cette bière, rien qui dit si elle est la même que la dryhop 2023.
Couleur pâle présentant un léger voile, le col est épais crémeux blanc-cassé plutôt tenace.
Arôme est frais bien fruité avec de beaux effluves de fruits tropicaux - agrumes fines en rétro-nasal.
Palais reprend la description de la cannette. Le tout est bien ficelé sans être vraiment dans un caractère IPA, cette bière surfe plus sur le côté neipa sans avoir trop d'impact de la levure.
Bonne présence du malté avec un caractère pils, cara pâle, le houblon Vista apporte pas mal de saveurs dont des notes fruitées tropicales - mangue séchée, fruit de la passion, léger herbacé avec une pointe fraiche de mandarine. Epaisseur rappelant la poire et une fraicheur du melon qui se lie à cela. Fini sur un léger côté mentholé frais. Assez traitre à 8.5% car se buvant facilement.
