Smells Fine, Tastes Fine, Looks Terrible...!

G'day All, I've got an nice infected brew and wanted to share.

Some context: AG ginger beer, belle saison yeast and current/final gravity somewhere around 1000-1003. Cause of the infection would almost certainly be the dried ginger I used nearing the end of ferment, guessing it kicked off an additional ferment as Tilt indicated a FG of about 1005 beforehand.

There's visible mould, looks super nasty but will bottle anyway with CBC-01 to keep carbonation consistent. Any idea what sort of infection this could be?
Cheers & Thanks!

Is it still reasonable to bottle? I have no idea but would have thought an infection like that writes off a brew?

Genuinely curious

If it's acetobacter, which it looks like to me, you will need to drink it in a short period of time. Acetobacter converts ethanol into amongst other things, acetic acid and carbon dioxide. So at some stage, bottles go boom.
