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.

Bottle from local AH, BB Sep 2015, large sample. Cloudy yellow color, short frothy head. Aroma of a bit wheat, citrus, lemon, bitter lemon soda pop. Quite sweet in taste, slight touch of bitterness from the belgian white, citrussy. Like a belgian witbier with the lemon already squeezed into it, and a dash of sparkling bitter lemon soda. Ok stuff.

Heb dit spul er nooit op willen gooien vanwege het feit dat ik het toen niet echt een bier vond, nog steeds niet eigenlijk. Alleen die naam al Rosé... klinkt als iets wat alleen wijven drinken.... kleurtje is uiteraard artifical en kraag al net zo. aroma is zoals te verwachten fruitig, framboos... ach ’t is te drinken maar laat het maar lekker bij het andere geslacht blijven

Helder lichtgeel bier et weinig schuim. Smaak is licht friszuur, fruitig citrus met sporen van koriander. Best goed.

[9/30/14] Bottle on a park bench in Amsterdam. Straight from the bottle. Aroma of orange peels, coriander and a bit of graininess. Slightly sweetish and slightly sourish flavor, wheaty, with citrus, coriander and a dry finish. Light to medium-bodied. Strong carbonation. OK.

Bottle courtesy of Deanso. Massive thanks :-) Poured a crystal clear red colour with a round bubbly head. The aroma is zesty cherry yeast. The flavour is moderate sweet with a somewhat sickly sweet sherbet cherry cherry and a little more cherry palate. Light bodied with average carbination. Lots of fake saccharin sweetness here. I can’t imagine who might buy this beer.

Popular Dutch interpretation of the Belgian witbier style, a thirst-quenching, elegant, gentle example with subtle use of coriander and curaçao, but in all a cliché Hoegaarden clone - again.
