I've never used it, but I just picked up a vial of this the other day. I'm thinking I will make an ordinary bitter or esb with it, and will be sure to post a follow-up report.

I've got a vial in the fridge so post any news on it PLEASE! Any pointers as well....

This yeast is stellar. I used it in an ordinary bitter, an esb, an ipa, a barleywine, and a hop rod rye clone, and it is absolutely awesome- ferments strong, drops out nicely, and has great fruit esters. I am looking forward to its next release.
