Brettanomyces Lambicus: This is a wild yeast strain isolated from Belgian lambic beers. It produces a pie cherry-like flavor and sourness along with distinct Brett character. A pellicle may form in bottles or casks. To produce the classic Belgian character this strain works best in conjunction with other yeast and lactic bacteria. It generally requires 3-6 months of aging to fully develop flavor characteristics.
