I thought I replied to this one (it was late!).
It's the Duvel yeast. Find a bottle of Duvel or Mardesous and you will find out what it is like. My first beer with it went in the fermenter last week. Thought I'd try a Duvel clone to see if I can get the yeast flavor right before doing anything else with it.
It is also the yeast Stone uses in it's Cali-Belgique ale.
Supposedly likes to be pitched mid to high 60s, and have the temperature increased to about 80 over 5 days.

Lots of folks have. Try searching for it and you'll find many, many threads about this yeast.

Currently having a beyotch of a time trying to get this one to floc out. Cold crashing got it to stratify a bit, but the only "clear" part of the beer after more than a week at 4ºC is the top 2 inches. Not sure what happened here...

I've only used 570 once and not had this problem. I crashed, racked, and have a very clear beer lagering right now. What did you brew?
Do you have a source for this? I talked to a brewer at Stone who specifically stated it was a Saison yeast used in that beer. I don't doubt you could get a saison character out of 570 if you fermented it right, but those two bits of information conflict so I'd love to know who's right.

Straight from the Stone website, most definitely Duvel yeast:

Fantastic! Thank you so much! What a great resource- you rock:rockin:
I guess brewers don't know everything (unless they're the head brewer, like I am- then they do know everything, but don't question us on it).
