Wieckse Witte

Beer Description

Wieckse Witte was introduced in 1988 as a Dutch witbier named after the Wyck district of Maastricht. It became one of Heineken’s recognizable Dutch specialty beer brands, offering a soft wheat beer profile with citrus and spice associations. The beer was brewed for decades before Heineken discontinued the Wieckse brand around 2021. Within the archive, Wieckse Witte represents a major chapter in Dutch white beer culture: accessible, hazy, refreshing, and strongly tied to regional identity through its name and label heritage.
