looks like Brettanomyces Lambicus

I sampled it... I didn't notice anything off. Get it cold and drink it quick? Or is she a dumper?

or let it go and and see what happens. I would rack it and let it finish in a plastic bucket

Looks like a brett fermentation to me... can you tell us more about what it is?  Beer, yeast used .. etc.

It's a lager made with w34/70. The other carboy of it looked normal. I had it sitting in the closet waiting for me to find time to keg it when I finally had some time last night is when I found this present.This is the beer that stalled out on me because it too cold.It's in a keg chilling out right now with gas on it. Hopefully I can get her drank before she gets too funky.

It does look like brett. Have you done any brett beers recently? It might be time for a deep cleaning and some new plastic. 

[johnpreuss]

Never did a brett.

How long was the beer in there? I have trouble getting Brett to look like that in a short amount of time. 

 

Lacto on the other hand is rather fast.

Lacto fast at a low temp though?

[johnpreuss]

It was sitting in my hallway @65-70 for 2 to 3 weeks

Getting a pellicle like this Id think the beer was not at a low temp.

This thread reminds me I need to go check on my funked up "helles".  2 commercial strains and a bunch of dregs in that one.
