American wild ale
Appearance
American wild ale is a sour beer brewed in the United States using yeast or bacteria in addition to Saccharomyces cerevisiae for fermentation.[1][2][3] Such beers are similar to Belgian Lambic and Oud bruin, and typically fermented using a strain of brettanomyces,[4] resulting in a "funky" flavor.[5][6][7][8]
