India wild ales

But it's not domesticated?
I dunno. I'm in agreement with cavedave that the 'invention' of new styles is getting a little out of hand.
Again though, we needed something to indicate to the consumer the expectations they should have. Until it's common knowledge that we use a true wild fermentation on everything, we've got to indicate it somehow.
If it had been an IPA with pitched 'wild' cultures, easy enough. 'IPA with Brett' etc.
It's a bit of a different beast with the complex truly wild ferment.

 

A local brewer utilizes asour mash, ferments with brett, ages in a barrel, and dry hops the final product. You get a super hoppy sour with a funky backbone, they call it "IPA primatif".

 

Yeah - it is important to distiguish between 'beer style' and 'beer description' here. Beer style should be as generic as possible, while the description can go into more detail. If it's spontaneously fermented and has funk, I'd put it under "Wild Ale".

 

Keep in mind that high levels of alcohol and high levels of iso-alpha acids will inhibit and slow the development of bretta and all yeasts and bacteria.
