Jester King Brewery Le Petit Prince

What the brewers say

“Farmhouse table beer.”

What our panel thought

“Spicy, cardamom-like nose with an acidic, pineapple twang. A crackery malt flavor hides behind a strong funky yeast character. Dry and substantially bitter but a wisp of residual sugars leads to a pleasant finish.”

What our editors thought

“Musty lime-peel funk joins some restrained yeast-spice and lemony grain—pleasant and compelling while checking all the ‘rustic’ boxes. Dry and bitter, light and lively. Very slight tangy acidity. The Brett and bitterness together add a challenging dimension that will excite some and turn off others.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Jester King Le Petit Prince

**Aroma:** “Big fruit esters of white grape, grape skin, and pear. A very mild tartness on the nose. Hints of lemons with a slight earthiness and light peppery phenols.” **Flavor:** “Very well-balanced—the fermentation is the star here with some fantastic fruity flavors and a tartness that provides balance. Nice carbonation that carries well and provides a slight carbonic bite. Light and crisp in the body with some slightly sweet and tart lemon fruit notes. Finishes so dry the beer almost evaporates off the tongue.” **Overall:** “Fantastic beer that provides a wonderful citrus tartness with slight pear and apple notes, balanced acidity, and mild funk. It’s very delicate yet filled with flavor, and quite amazing how they’ve balanced each of these elements—fruit, funk, dryness—in an obviously low ABV sessionable beer.”

Roaring Table Brewing Festbier

“Noble-hop notes in the aroma are balanced by a nice dose of crackery malt. Moderate toasty malt gives way to a floral, earthy, green-tea hop finish. Malt body is a bit flabby, stripping away some of the more gentle hop character. Moderate sweetness lingers.”

Roaring Table Brewing Concision

“Great blend of aughts-era and modern approaches. Subdued dank aroma and flavor, without overwhelming fruitiness. Herbaceous aromas linger through retronasal, inviting another sip.”
