Pours a lazy gold, like early sunrays on an autumnal Sunday morning. Strings of bubbles kiss the glass and rise to a dense foamy white cap leaving thick lumps of lace as the head slowly sinks. The nose seems masked at first but short bursts of fruits and spice appear. Banana, apple, caramel and yeast are present. The flavors divide into three distinct phases. As you take your first sip, a sweet nectar erupts on the tip of your tongue. Honeysuckle, banana and other sweet fruits make a very brief appearance before the brew takes on a different aspect. Over-roasted coffee beans with a metallic edge dominate the main section with a sharp bitterness that gradually matures to a satisfying bread-like finish. The evolution in this beer was a good complement to the goat cheese I had beforehand. Refreshing and easy to drink.

Nov 9, 2009 from tap after visiting the brewery. When you see the very big factory you expect a very artificial beer. But I’m happy it’s not like that! Golden colour with nice white head. Smell: grainy and fruity. Taste: nice balanced spices, grainy, malty, yeasty and a bit bitter. Very Nice one!

Nov 9, 2009 From tap, after visit of the brewery of Achouffe ;-) Blonde to golden light hazy beer with a medium white head that disappears in the end. A smell of spices, grains and hops. The taste is grainy, hoppy, malty and spicy with a small dry finish. Soft mouthfeel, and although some light bitterness not sharp at all in the mouth. I like more the stronger and more bitter ’Houblon Dobbelen IPA Tripel’’. Note: quite similar to the "Lupulus", but in my opinion the Lupulus is overall a better beer with some more finesse.

BeerChaser0078 (291), Melbourne, Australia
Oct 16, 2009 750ml Bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden orange with a bubbly white head that lasts for a while. Aroma is spicy with notes of yeast, coriander, clove, orange and doughy malt. Flavour is a little less spicy and a bit fruitier, with apples, pineapple and grapefruit noticeable, but is otherwise very similar to the aroma. Medium body with a highly carbonated yet smooth mouthfeel, this is a very good beer from Chouffe and good value as well.
