What is growing on my beer?

What is growing on my beer? This is an almost 10% saison that sat with a dry airlock for many months. I pitched a bag of blackberries on it a few weeks ago. It really looks like some sort of a wild culture, not sure though.

Looks like Whipped cream! Should go great with those blackberries!

Lacto infection? I dunno. It is thick and creamy and I bet it turns out dry as hell.

Sweet! You have a really nice pellicle growing there. From the looks of it, it is probably a pedio infection. Brett infections usually have large bubbles in the pellicle. I would be very interested in tasting this.

Is that the baby diaper infection?

i hope it doesn't dry out the saison that finished .998! should be fun to try.

What does it smell like?

[MightyCow9]

Smells like saison. Maybe a little bit on the lactic side, but very slight if anything. Still smells good.

If you didn't make a puree out of your fruit and pasteurize it, the wild critters
probably came right along with your berries, not a dry air lock.
