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.

Op tap bij Alkmaars Bierhuis. De gewone Tripel maar dan gedry-hopped met Vista hop. Mistig groengele kleur, witte kraag. Bloemig, geparfumeerd, hoppig, korianderzaad, droog, bitter, herbaal. Vind de gewone Lupulus altijd erg lekker, deze is ook prima te genieten.

Draft @ Clair/obscur.
Couleur blonde sur col blanc épais.
Arôme sur une base plutôt classique belge - malt pils et pâle avec un rétro-nasal sur de fins esters fruités et un houblonné noble qui apporte un nez fleuri délicat.
Palais est assez classique belge sous un aspect pils cette bière cherche un peu à partir sur un léger ester fruité de la levure avec une belle rondeur de fin de bouche. Garde une approche belge noble niveau houblons avec une bière qui oscille vers un style d'abbaye.

Pours clear blonde, medium small white head. Scent is heavy, damp citrus, sharp. Not as spring-like fresh and unique as the basic blonde is - which I still place amongst or even as thé favorite tripel of mine. Lemongrass comes to mind. Taste is smooth, though. More typicality of lupulus here, tough it seems more sweet somehow, as well as the lemongrass expression. Refreshing tripel, but why is this sweeter than the basebeer? Or did lupulus just took the sugar turn alltogether ?
