Is this a first time release or does anyon have previous experience with this strain? Upcoming warm weather will cause my apartment to get pretty hot and this strain can go upto 80F and looks very very interesting for my Belgian addiction.

It is part of the Wyeast Private Collection thru June 2010. The specs on this yeast sound really interesting. I am going to pick up a pack if my LHBS gets it in. Montanaandy

I know its PC and I did further research and found it to be available again, its not a first time release. I dont see any reviews of how it performs though. I just bought WLP550 and wanted to know how this one can compare.
