I'm planning on fermenting a beer to a similar schedule to that of Orval (I wouldn't call it a clone attempt, though the target gravities will be similar) and I'm looking for a primary yeast. Orval uses wlp510, but that is seasonal. I would use an orval bottle, but it only has the secondary strain, which I already have. Does anyone know of another commercial beer that uses the 510? or can anyone tell me what it's like and what I'm aiming for flavor/ester wise?
If I can't find anything, I have resolved to culture from an Ommegang bottle; fairly dry (when not on tap) and attenuates to about the right degree if I'll be using brett later. Thoughts on this would also be appreciated.
