All three breweries involved in the collaboration ferment their beer with unique blends of yeast and bacteria. In the case of Jester King, all of our beer is fermented with a mixed culture of microorganisms consisting of brewers yeast and native yeast and bacteria harvested from the air and wildflowers around our brewery in the Texas Hill Country. We brewed our version of Cerveza Sin Frontera at our brewery in October 2013 with the help of Chad Yakobson of Crooked Stave and Raphaël Mettler of Trois Dames. The wort, brewed with Hill Country well water, barley, wheat, oats, and hops, was initially fermented in stainless steel for three months, then refermented in Spanish sherry barrels for twelve months, and finally refermented in bottles, kegs, and casks for three more months.
Blend #1 was sherry barrel aged and bottled on 12.16.2014.

[4/30/15] Draught at Mikropolis in Copenhagen. Orange. Lovely aroma of wine, funk, cobwebs, caramel and fruits. Sour and slightly sweetish flavor, funky and fruity, with some wine. Medium-bodied. Very nice.

Draught@Mikropolis, Copenhagen. Hazy amber colour with not too much head. Aroma is mildly floral along with some lactic, eggy and sour wooden notes. Flavour is similar with some slight eggy notes. At first I thought it was the Trois Dames version being spoilt, but this one had some similar eggy and plasticky notes, so apparently it’s something intended. Not my thing though.

Bottle @ my parent’s basement, picked up at Crooked Stave. Pours a murky orangish brown appearance with a thin tan head. The aroma has a lot of spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper), vinegar / acetic acid, some funk, a little bubblegum / candy, wood, and some tannins. Medium body. Moderate low sweetness and bitterness. More twangy, candy notes in the mouth. Quite a bit of leather, oak, vanilla, and tannins. Moderately tart. Somewhat funky. There’s some fruit notes like grape, plum, and prunes. Overall, it’s pretty enjoyable. I can’t remember what I paid for it, maybe $18-20. It’s fun but not worth a repeat purchase at that price.
