Can any of you experienced beer brewers out there tell me what infection this might be? This pic was taken several months after the infection started. Initially, the smell was very strong and very odd. I can't even describe it. Now the smell is much more subdued. This was failed wheat beer...

I had a watermelon sitting around that I finally got around to tasting and it wasn't super sweet, so I decided to make a simple wine out of it. I followed my normal procedure of squeezing the juice out, filtering, and boiling. I also wanted to try adding some tartaric acid I bought at the lhbs...
