Funky Mixed Fermentation
The Basics
Funky mixed fermentations, for the purposes of this article, refer to fermentations that contain Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces. They do not contain lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Pediococcus. As such, these beers may have a lightly tart flavor, but are not described as being sour (see the Mixed Fermentation page). The flavor of funky beers is often dominated by the array of flavor compounds produced by Brettanomyces (see Brettanomyces metabolism). Generically speaking, these flavors range from tropical fruits, stone fruits, smoke, barnyard animal funk, bitterness that lingers on the palate longer than hop bitterness and is accompanied by undertones of fruit, horse blanket, sweat, body odor, etc.
