Description
It all started in 1999 at the annual Horecabeurs in Ghent. Rik Nyssen, who was then running Rick’s Cafe in Moelingen, met Dirk Nauts, owner of the "Proefbrouwerij". This brewery specializes in brewing and developing small-scale beers. After a lot of brainstorming, they opted to make a beer based on syrup. Syrup made especially for Rik in Sint-Pieters-Voeren with the Weertz family.

A year after the first conversation between Rik and Dirk, the time had come: the beer was ready. And it didn't take long to speculate about the name of the beer. Everyone in the Voeren region already spoke about "the beer from Rik". That is why Rick’s new beer was christened. Rick's Blond's bottle has a label with the image of a painting by artist Rob Brouwers.

In the meantime we are quite a few days and developments further. Rick’s beer no longer consists of just a blonde version of 6.5%, but over the years 2 other variants have come out. In 2002 Ricks ’Kersenbier of 7% came on the market. And in 2009 followed Rick’s Bruin, a more bitter beer based on roasted malt with 6.7% alcohol.

All of Rick's beers are a little bit light. Good flavours though. Summer drinks

Local beer developed by a former café owner living in the Voeren area; in existence since 2010, but I have never come across it so far. Thanks tderoeck! Mousy, medium thick, lacing, off-white head, misty apricot-golden blonde robe. Aroma of banana, almond cookies, ripe apricot, sugarloaf, lemon peel, ‘frangipane’, strong solventy aspects (varnish). Sweet onset, crisp with fruity banana- and red apple-like notes, fizzy, slick white-bready malt body with a lemony-sourish accent thinly running underneath, meeting a strong phenolic and solventy ending with a dash of floral hops yet remaining (too) low in actual hop bitterness. Unbalanced, way too solventy as well as too sweet to be truly memorable, but I can imagine this being somewhat of a local success considering the absence of other Voeren beers.

19/X/19 - 33cl bottle from a trade, shared @ Wim VL's Stoofvlees Tasting, BB: 6/IX/19 - (2019-1747) Thanks to Bierridder_S for sharing the bottle!

Clear orange to blond beer, small creamy beige to off-white head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: pretty oxidized, malty, grains, sweet impression, yeasty, some banana. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: weird, tastes, like mussels, pretty chemical bitterness, some varnish, boy this is bad stuff... Aftertaste: dry, bit yeasty, chemical touch, some banana peel, spices, pretty messy.
