| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 29, 2009 Blond with a huge white head, extremely clean and clear looking. Aroma is extremely typical for the style with light sweetish fruity malt and plenty of bright fruity yeast esters. Flavour is similar but with a alcoholic touch that brings it down a bit. Ends with on a bittersweet fruity lingering note. Very simple and straightforward, utterly drinkable though. Maddog (248), Kettering, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 28, 2009 Bottle at the Dilly Deli. Light, grassy, herbal, bready with some yeast and a little spice in the finish. A delightfully refreshing and easy drinking Belgian. The alcohol is completely hidden. The body is lighter than I would have thought, but the flavor of course is very good. Nicko (191), Ashfield, Australia
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 15, 2009 Slightly hazy gold color with a massive bright white head, a little creamy in texture. The nose is fruity and sweet, with a lemon-lime crispness. Finish is biting in its acidity, the hops perfect in their spiciness, quite dry and long lasting aftertaste. Goes well with Shanghai savoury dumplings. MPA (487), Nørrebro(formerly Aalborg), Denmark

Plenty off yeasty, fruity aromas along with some malts and grain and a little lime. Flavour just adds up nicely the aroma with some vanilla, bready notes as well. Pinball (2991), Allerød, Denmark

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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! wimpie133 (185), Brugge, Belgium
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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.

Flowery, fruity, spicy aroma. Coriander and other spices as well as malt in the taste. Finishes quite dry. I am absolutely going to drink this again.
