I recently got a vial of the yeast stated in the title from the White Labs vault. Its description is as follows:
WLP616 Funky Cider Blend ** NEW **
This blend of yeasts and bacteria for cider is a blend of two Saccharomyces strains combined with some Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus. This blend results in a slight tartness and a mild funk aroma that will result in less than 2 weeks. Light pellicle will form because of the Brettanomyces.
Acidity production: low.

I got a cider started yesterday, 5 gallons with a pound of brown sugar added for a SG of 1.068. Yeast activity began within an hour.
 
Just realized this was not in the cider forum, rather the recipes section... would welcome a delete, will repost in the correct area
