Westvleteren Blonde Clone?

Anyone know of a recipe, or attempted to brew a clone, or have any info that might help with a Belgian pale along those lines?

I have heard that they use the same yeast strain as Westmalle which is allegedly Wyeast 1214 Begian Abbey I.

I believe the Westmalle strain is the Wyeast 3787. I used this on my Chardonnay Oaked Tripel and man did it attenuate out nicely! O.G. 1.117 F.G. 1.020 ABV 13.2%

Yeah, that's right--I got them mixed up. 1214 is allegedly from Chimay.
