| Bruxellensis || Dekkera bruxellensis || Brettanomyces bruxellensis Trois Vrai || WLP648 || Pear. Overly ripe stone fruit and pineapple, with hints of citrus in the aroma. Pineapple, overly ripe tropical stone fruit, lemon and lime rind flavor. Little to no "funk". Less complex overall compared to other Brettanomyces cultures from WL <ref name="danpixley_mtf" />. || The vrai (true, in French) Brettanomyces bruxellensis Trois. The infamous strain used for all-Brettanomyces fermentations, has a robust, complex sour character with aromas of pear. Best used as a primary fermentation strain. May be the same as BSI Drie? Profile is very similar to BSI Drie <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1053359438025603/?comment_id=1054131287948418&offset=0&total_comments=7&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R0%22%7D Ryan Steagall's conversation with White Labs on Facebook.
