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.

Bottle from Amstein, Vevey, Switzerland
Hazy blond color, quite pale; high carbonation and very big head, some big bubbles, but indeed quite compact later. Delicate aroma, mixing some spices and a Belgian yeast touch, and traces of rosemary. Good mouthfeel, spiced malt flavor, with a pleasant subtle sweetness and a touch of oranges, both sweet and bitter. Correct bitterness, with hints of hops. Well balanced. Can easily be described as Tripel. Deeply pleasant.

I don’t know the story behind the interesting label, but in Latin Wolf=Lupus and Hop=Humulus Lupulus.

(75cl bottle) Hazy, golden colour with a thick and slightly off-white foamy head. Sweet grainy pale malty aroma with yeasty notes and spicy herbal (knot grass), nettle-like hops. Moderately bitter, slightly sweet flavour, medium bodied, smooth carbonation. Grainy malty base with very subtle fruity elements and spicy, slightly ethereally hops flavours, leading into a moderately dry and hoppy finish with lasting spicy and herbal notes. Yummy (22.VII.09).
