Throughout Northern Europe, light-bodied, well-hopped, low alcohol table beers were often the beverage of choice with all meals at times and in places where the water wasn’t always safe to drink. Le Petit Prince is a dry, unspiced, highly attenuated Farmhouse Table Beer unique to our land in the Texas Hill Country. Naturally occurring wild yeasts impart a sense of place to this unfiltered, unpasteurized, 100% naturally conditioned ale.
Admin Note: In October 2013 Jester King began brewing this beer using indigenous wild yeast and souring bacteria. All bottles/cans from Batch 11 onward should be under this rating.

Gold Star Beer Counter, Brooklyn tap: pours slightly hazy golden with small head. Aroma is lightly funky, herby and medicinal. Taste and body are super light. Light sourness. Quite carbonated. Too light methinks.

Bottle. Batch 15. Tall Boys, Leeds. Very pale, green tinged, straw colour. Soft haze. Lots of fast streams of bubbles. Perky, bright white head. Nose has the wheaty base upfront. Some dusty, bretty notes. Preserved lemon. Grass and straw. Taste is dry and slightly sour. Very light mouthfeel. Spritzy and soda like. Finishes dry and light sour.

Jester King Petit Prince 2.9% Finally got to try this at Bar Volo plus as they’re closing the 750ml was just 18$! Light cloudy gold with a film of white foam plus a wheat, white pepper, brett and banana bread aroma. Very light bodied with a dry soda bread and brett flavor. Pleasant but a tad simple flavor profile.

750 ml bottle into signature tulip glass; batch #18, bottled on 11/17/2015. Pours slightly hazy golden/straw color with a 1 finger dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big lemon, pear, apple, white grape, peppercorn, coriander, clove, hay, straw, wheat, cracker, herbal, grass, light funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, pear, apple, white grape, peppercorn, coriander, clove, hay, straw, wheat, cracker, herbal, grass, light funk, and yeast earthiness.Moderate herbal bitterness, yeast spiciness, and slight tangy tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, pear, apple white grape, peppercorn, coriander, clove, hay, straw, herbal, grass, light funk and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, crisp, dry, and lightly creamy/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 2.9%. Overall this is an awesome session saison. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and highly refreshing to drink. A really enjoyable and classic tasting table saison.

Much of a 750ml bottle at The Sovereign in DC. Poured a hazy yellow straw color with an off-white head. Aroma was floral notes, light strawberry fruit, stonefruit. Light grain. Very mild in aroma and flavor. Enough funky character makes this an interesting brew.
