About
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.

On tap somewhere in Groningen. Hazy golden with a white head. Citrus yeast aroma and taste. Short aftertaste. Not bad for a Belgian wit but very boring.

0.33l bottle @ Hotel De Nieuwe Doelen, Middelburg. This is a light cloudy golden orange one with a medium sized dense just off-white head. The aroma is light cardboardy. Not what I expect in a wit. Some light herbal and wheaty tones also, but all in all this does not smell particularly good. It tastes quite alright though. Light wheaty, clear coriander and herbal tones here. Refreshing and almost a bit fruity-sweet as well. Light dry tongue in the aftertaste. 29.05.2012

On tap. Remarkably light, slightly hazy, yellow, with a fingerthick head. Aroma is slight sour almost lemon drop-like citrus, with notes of hay and orange. Light, thin body, with a low carbonation. Flavour is some citrusy hay-ish notes, but mostly toffee malt, biscuits and honey which gives a sweet finish.

A Dutch blonde that is a fine drink in its own right, but doesn’t quite satisfy in its style.

16/V/2012 - on tap as "Wieckse Servaas" @ De Ambassadeur (Terneuzen) - BB: n/a (2012-508)

Note: apparently "Wieckse Servaas" is not a beer, the "Servaas" is just the name of the glass. Thanks for being so confusing, Heineken. Maybe they'd better focus on making good beer instead of making glassware with a name.

Clear milky yellow beer, nice creamy white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of yeast, some coriander, lemon zest, bit peppery. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very spicy start, coriander, citrus peel, pretty bitter with a sweet undertone. Aftertaste: bit sweet, malty, yeast, some banana, pretty watery in all.
