Jester King Le Petit Prince

The Jester King Brewery is located in the Texas Hill Country on the outskirts of AustinTexas. This is a 2.9% ABV farmhouse table beer. It is brewed with five malts, wheat, and East Kent Goldings and Saaz hops, and farmhouse yeast.

The beer pours a mostly clear golden color, with just the slightest haze. There is a tall head of pure white foam, not long lasting. The wheat is noticeable in the aroma, there is also citrus and floral. I often get a big marigold note from farmhouse yeasts, and it is here. There is a pleasant tang and funk from the yeast. The taste follows the aromas, floral, citrus, wheat and yeast. It is lightly carbonated, with a medium body. The finish is quite dry and fairly bitter. This is very nice for the style, a pleasant farmhouse table beer.
