Faint odour of peardrop/nail polish remover. Not unpleasant by any means.
No Acetic character. Doesn't smell mouldy.
Slow growing (That's taken 8 weeks)

Any ideas?
 
that's quite a rockin' pellicle. I don't have experience with bugged beers so I couldn't say exactly, but i think this kind of 'skin' usually is a combination of aerobic bacteria and non-traditional yeasts.

What's the brew?
 
It's sat atop a small (1 litre) jar of spent trub / old beer. Very little residual sugar in it when I'd set out to capture something wild so I'm half hoping it's pediococcus... I'll use it to seed a lambic beer in the autumn.
