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; wood vessels may be used. The published Brettanomyces, oak aging and balanced acidity fit that profile, though the brewery lists no bacteria by name.
