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.

Draft sample @ 18th Christmasbeer festival in Essen. Dark brownish with a small tanned head. Smell is smoky meaty malts in a burst yeast & not good kind of way, lactic & vinous. Taste is same meatiness, dark malts, bitter herbs, vinous, metallic, earth, leaves. Medium to light body, lower carb. Granted going by the ingredients this doesn’t really seem like my thing but this is definitely not how it was meant to be. Things went wrong & this sort of sucks. I can drink but I am not particularly digging this.

Bottle sample @ 18de Kerstbierfestival, Essen 2012. Brune présentant un léger trouble, col beige. Arôme est faible tirant sur une faible note de fruité noir et qcq malts carapils. Ce dernier laisse un bouquet léger grillé, carapils typique pour un nez qui est très dans une signature on ne peut plus belge. Houblons sont aussi bien présents avec une amertume certaine au nez surtout dans un fleuri citronné bien en avant et pouvant dominer la base maltée. Le tout au final à ce profil typique belge. Ici je penche pour la Lupulus revisitée avec un ajout malté et un houblonnage possible entre Sladek et Premiant pour un profil de bière restant axé sur l’amertume. Pointe minime d’épice qui ajoutent peu au développement du caractère de la bière. Malt présente un léger côté grillé, et fini pils. Même à 9%, le tout reste faible.
