This yeast rocks. I used White Labs WLP051 (same, Anchor yeast) for the beer below and it came out simply awesome.
Give it a go if you're bored:

Measured Final Gravity: 1.018 SG
Alcohol by Vol: 6.80 %
Bitterness: 43.7 IBU
Est Color: 36.9 EBC
Mash Profile
Sparge Water: 19.59 L
Sparge Temperature: 169.0 F
Mash PH: 5.4 PH
0 min Step Add 18.50 L of water 85.0 F
60 min Step 153.0 F
10 min Step 168.0 F
Water adjusted to reach this:
Ca 110
Mg 21
Na 7
Cl 66
SO4 54
Alkalinity as CaCO3 240
Residual Alkalinity 150
Chloride to Sulfate ratio 1.24, balanced.
Fermented at 65, left in primary for 20 days total, then bottled. Drinking very, very nicely now at 7.5 weeks in the bottle. The hops really come out in this one, with those Nelson Sauvins giving a nice edge to the hop component. Malt comes through nice and rich with the melanoidin malt definitely giving this an extra kick. And the yeast works great with this beer. Didn't dry it out too much. Some nice mouthfeel left there and a nice fruity note from the yeast. This is my current favorite of my beers.
