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.

Hazy pink colour, small moussy pinkish head, almost no lacing. Aroma raspberry, bubble gum. Taste very sweet, raspberries, cherries, lemonade syrup, candy sugar. Light body, sticky texture, soft carbonation, sweet aftertaste, very artificial, mwah.

Aroma has honey, yeast, butter and a hint of citrus. Banana, citrus, herbs and yeast in the taste. Thinnish. Nice beer, but not outstanding in any way.

Very light color,cloudy. Lemon aroma, just a bit vegetable-like. Thin and a bit watery. Sweetish, citric flavor with grape sugar. Very short finish.. Drinkable light witbier, but nothing exciting to it.

Slightly vinous orange aroma. Neutral with just a bit of sourness, slightly vinous. Milky aftertaste. Thirst quencher with nothing that makes a beer special.
