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.

Draught @ Micropolis. Aroma is a bit odd with fruit candy, perfume and raspberry juice. Flavour has raspberry juice, licorice and gastric acid. Confusing stuff, a bit like raspberry pie. --- Beer merged from original tick of Cerveza Sin Frontera on 30 Apr 2015 at 13:54 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6. Original review text: Draught @ Micropolis. Aroma has sweet raspberry juice and quite nothing else. Flavour has raspberry juice, tartness, some green apples and mild sour cream tones. Feels a bit messy and odd.
