I recently made a beer with this at a Big Brew Day event, where a local brewery donated yeast slurry to brewers for beers brewed on-site that day. I made a pretty plain American Pale Ale. The flavor is very drying on the palate, almost chalky. I'm not a big fan of it, but it is very distinct. Distinct enough that I was thinking there's probably a certain beer style or recipe where this yeast's flavor character is a harmonious match.

Anyone use this yeast with success? If so, what recipes do you find it works best in?

Mash was on the lower temperature end. Big Brew Day event in parking lot of local brewery, so didn't have all my usual electric brewing and was trying to keep things simple. Mashed in at 145f for 80 minutes, and was 130f at that time.
 
I remember this strain more attenuative and cleaner than US05, I think it's a good strain for a modern WCIPA
