As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines for Mixed-Culture Brett Beer call for Brettanomyces character together with bacteria that are "incorporated and in evidence", medium to high fruity esters, and ABV and IBU that vary with the underlying style; fruited versions should show fruit in balance. With no published specs, fit cannot be assessed.
