Red Trolley Yeast

[NewkyBrown]

I’m looking at brewing a Karl Strauss Red Trolley clone and wondered what Yeast would work best.
This beer has a lot of caramel malt and low hopping rates. I have an ESB fermenting right now with Wyeast ESB and thought I could use some of the slurry from this beer.
Do you think this yeast would work or should I stick with a US strain?
Thanks...

1084 would be the on-point Wyeast strain, it runs a fair bit drier than their 1968.
And with a lot of caramel/not a lot of hops that might matter in the end...

Cheers!

Just brewed this beer on Friday. Used Wyeast Irish Ale yeast and a big starter. Activity has already slowed down. Recipe was 9lbs 2 row and 2 lb each of crystal 80 and 60. I’ll update again when kegged...
