La Valduc Rio a été brassée pour la première fois en mai 2014. Parmi les houblons les plus fins, 4 ont été sélectionnés pour leurs propriétés aromatiques. Aucune épice ni arôme artificiel n’a été ajouté à notre doux breuvage. Une légère touche de sucre candi envoûte également les palais exigeants. Dans un souci de respect des traditions la Valduc est refermentée en bouteille, ce qui lui donne une pétillance fine et légère. Une levure traditionnelle a été sélectionnée pour réveiller les fragrances de notre moût. Un léger dépôt peut donc troubler l’éclat de sa robe. Nos 4 Malts régionaux rappelleront les saveurs du terroir.

On tap at GIST. Pours mostly clear light gold with a white head. Grassy hops and a bit of floral Belgian yeast. Flavour has caramel malts, grassy hops, and some Belgian yeast. Very light carbonation. I would not have guessed that this is a tripel.

On tap at GIST, pours a clear copper with a medium white head. Aroma has piney hops, some earthiness, and light metallic notes. Flavour is fairly smooth, with Belgian yeast, bready malt, and a touch of sweetness. Would never have guessed this was a tripel if I didn’t know. Okay.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy amber colored brew with an medium sticky sweet bitter taste, with some fruitiness. Also i give this one an gusher alert.

Dark riddish amber colour, white foam. Sweet, herbal, earthy with caramel notes. Unbalanced. Not very good.

Bottle at home. Unclear dark orange to reddish color, huge sized a bit rough off-white head. Aroma is malty, caramalts, a hint of candy sugar. Flavor is malts, a bit sweet, light iron. Not that much to tell about this one tbh. Don't get more than this. Average beer. Drinkable but it doesn't really excite me.
