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.

"Lupulus", "Ardens tripel bier", Flasche (75 cl) von Moine Austère, Tournai, 30.7.2013. - Hellgelb, trüb. - Antrunk süßlich-hefig und zugleich hopfig: blumige, ja parfümähnliche süßliche Hopfenaromen, arg ungewohnt. Dazu macht sich eine eigenartige, nicht schwere aber etwas ölige Süße (JPP spricht von Fritierfett) störend bemerkbar. Unangenehmes, ganz leicht brennendes Mundgefühl. Im Nachtrunk Hopfenbittere und wieder Fritierfett. - Kein Genuß, beim Wärmerwerden fast eklig.

Bottle from Au Grain d’Orge, Crissier, 8.5% ABV
Hazy dark brown color with medium sized compact head. Aroma of caramel, with a classic Belgian dusty impression, lightly stale too. Good body, the mouthfeel is still lean; some caramel flavor, with light chocolate and liquorice touch; moderate bitterness, and correct alcohol control.
A dirty beer, not bad, but lacking of character.

(Keg at Cafe Thembi, Maastricht, 20130603) The beer poured golded and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had honey and citricness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was bitter. A quite dry and very clean tripel.

Draft sample @ ZBF’13 shared with the RB Belgian crew. Acajou trouble, col crémeux rosâtre. Arôme est ici bien fruité avec ce bouquet framboise et griottes naturel, note floral, froment et un profil naturel très appréciable. Palais est léger et rafraichissant. La framboise et griottes se font une belle place tout en laissant un profile de bouche tirant plus vers une blanche. Pointe de douceur tout en ayant en retrait cet ajout aigre fruité.

Draught Pink head, small, over fully muddy red beer, amberish. Herbal, as in parsley, corianderleaf, very faintly fruity but appealing. Sweet taste, quite fruity and not artificial; each new sip gives parsley, the prenasal aroma just overflowing into the mouth. Is a bit sticky, well bodied if mainly fruit-filled, even a bit syrupy. There’s better around.
