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.

Bottle at Saraveza Farmhouse Festival, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out rustic farmhouse yeast, some earthy notes, and slight buttery notes. Flavour is very dry, with rustic farmhouse yeasts, bone dry earthiness and some very dry bready bitterness. Not especially complex, but it works okay. Meh.

750 mL bottle. Pours a pale, cloudy yellow, with a small, eggshell, bubbly head. The aroma is lemon zest, horse blanket and mustiness, butterscotch, and ripe apples. Relatively bitter, tart, and nicely dry. Light body, crisp, a bit acidic and somehow creamy. This is a easy, dry, and flavorful table beer.

Draught @ CBC 2015. Pours hazy very pale yellow with a frothy white head that leaves lots of sticky lacing and trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is spicy phenolic and tiny funky with crackers, red pears, hay, dry soil, white pepper corns, coriander, lemon zest and hints of metal and barnyard. Taste is tiny sour, tiny malty, slightly spicy phenolic and tiny funky. Mouthfeel is dry, slightly tart, tiny astringent and light bodied. Finish is slightly sour with crackers, lemon juice, red pears, hay, dry soil, minerals, barnyard, white pepper corns and lemon zest. Solid table beer but I suspect a small sample at a beer festival doesn’t do this beer justice.
