Funny and reassuring that you mention a similar profile to WLP 007, gbarron. I just pitched a 1L starter of the 1217 into an Arrogant Bastard clone yesterday as my LHBS was out of the WLP007, described by Tasty McDole as the best yeast to give that AB character. Doesnt hurt that the strain is rumored to be from Stone either, I was getting worried that the beer might be way off.
So far it looks to have a strong start to fermentation about 18 hours in. It does seems to be somewhat sulfurous for an ale yeast though with all that activity im sure it'll blow off fast.
Cheers
