Description
In 1857 werd in Maastricht Brouwerij De Ridder opgericht en dat was tot 1982 een familiebedrijf. In 1982 werd de brouwerij gekocht door Heineken. Brouwerij De Ridder brouwde op dat moment drie verschillende bieren: Ridder Pils, Ridder Oud Bruin en Ridder Maltezer.

Heineken besloot eind jaren 80 van de 20e eeuw om twee nieuwe bieren van De Ridder te introduceren: Ridder Bock (1987) en Wieckse Witte (1988). Door de toenemende vraag naar m.n. Wieckse Witte besloot Heineken eind 2002 het bier voortaan geheel in de eigen brouwerijen te laten brouwen. Hierdoor kwam De Ridder in december van dat jaar leeg te staan.

In september 2021 is er door Heineken gestopt met het Wieckse merk.

Pours a clear red with a redish foamy head. Aroma of fruits, candy like, bubblegum. Extremely sweet. Nasty chemical, artificial taste to it. Refreshing, but this has too little to do with beer to be enjoyable for me.

Bottle at home. Aroma is sugar, artificial lemon, hint of wheat, hint of green tea, soda. Flavour is sugary soda sweetness. Body is light. A generous 0.03% green tea extract was used in brewing this ’beer’. I don’t even hate this, it’s lame but drinkable.

Bottle 0,30ltr: The most commercial White of the Netherlands its got the standard hazy look and formiliar spices, its not a bad beer and not a great one either. Make the label honest and change Maastricht in to ’s-Hertogenbosch, thank you Heineken.
