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.

330 ml. bottle sampled. BBF OKT-2016. Hazy pale weird milky citrus, small head of white bubbles. Nose is weird milky sweet, typical radler aka artificial sweet big time, oddly this reminds me more of lemon lemonade than anything I would associate with green tea, there is a vague green mineral note, maybe something faintly akin to Lipton Ice Tea Green. Taste is extremely sweet, chemical, massively, artificial, fizzy industrial, nasty cardboard note, sweet, moldy, chemical green finish which I assume is something that should pass for green tea. Chemical. Poor radler, very poor ice tea, insult to be associated with green tea. Not my thing, yeah it is radler.

Bottle @ home. Artificial fruits, sweet but refreshing. I could say this might fall under my guilty pleasures.

300 ml. bottle sampled @ home. According to the label, this one was brewed using solar energy. Nothing on the label makes it clear that this is a Heineken product. Second Heineken product where I notice that. BBF Jan 2017. Hazy sparkling citrus, little white bubbles. Nose is watery buttery wheat, thin sweet flowers & big butter, mineral, bad soda artificial banana. Fizzy empty body awful plastic chemical bitter plastic, butter, plastic flowers, unpleasant bitter chemical, watery spoiled buttery wheat. Just unpleasant rubbish really. A bad Hefe should be more enjoyable than this, quite a poor product. Not very pleasant in my opinion.

30 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Coop Culemborg. Very light milky yellow with a thin white head. Sweet citrus and fruit tea aroma. Sweet fresh taste with very lively carbonation. More soda than beer but very refreshing.

Bottle from local AH, medium sample. Cloudy yellow color, medium frothy head. Aroma of sweet candy, slight grainy malt, artificial fruit. Not a lot of ice tea, except for that strange candy. Massive sweet taste. Drinkable, but the beer flavor is getting less and less and the soda more and more with these macro radlers.
