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.

75 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Bert’s Bierhuis. Bottle shared with Rick. Hazy golden with a white head with some yeast specks. Floral aroma. Was expecting a bit more because the Brune was excellent but this one sort of disappointed me. Hoppy aftertaste.

27th May 2012: On tap at the Lupulus brewery’s restaurant, "Les 3 Fourquets"; poured into one of their 25 cl chalices after I’d had two glass of the regular ’Lupulus’. This version is obviously brown in colour: well it’s dark brown with a big off-white head at the brewery. Good mix of flavours in the nose and the tatse: malty and semi-sweet with a hop bitterness never far away, yeast notes also adding to the overall effect. Glad I had one.

27th May 2012: On tap at the Lupulus brewery’s restaurant, "Les 3 Fourquets"; poured into one of their 25 cl chalices. I had two of them during my stay. Light blond/yellow body with a hazy look and a good solid head on top of each glass. Yeasty nose with not much else to report smell wise. The taste was refreshing and yeasty (like the aroma) with a fruity hop feel in the flavour: bitter but with some sweetness giving the beer a pleasant balance. Very different to most Belgian Tripels I’ve encounted but most enjoyable.
