White Crust on a Cherry Lambic

[noblanks1969]

I have a cherry lambic in the secondary which now has formed a white crust on top of the beer. Is this normal for this style since two wild yeast strains are used? There are no pretty colors and I have not tasted or smelled it yet. Thank you for any information. Ron

Probably (i hope) pellicle.

I'd love to see it (probably others would too) but even without im 99% sure that based on the fermentation, style and yeast going on thats its a nice pellicle forming on the top of the carb boy.
