Long story short, i've bottle conditioned a barrel aged sour and found one with a pellicle formed in the bottle.... Im drinking it anyway.. tastes fine..

But is that normal/bad/ok?

one of the other guys had some forming in his as well
 
well - Ive never done it before.
So its all a surprise really, but by your response I gather that its normal...?
 
Forms in the bottle because of the oxygen you get in there when bottling. Generally falls back into the beer when you stick it in the fridge, or sometimes just when you disturb the bottle
