Yeasy Bay Funktown Pale Ale

Anyone else have any feedback on this strain?

I'll give my feedback:

I brewed a Heady Topper clone and pitched this blend. I liked the taste so much after primary fermentation that I decided to forego dry hopping.

I'm still sitting on about 6-8 bottles. It's pretty good stuff so I'm being scarce with it. I've gotten some pretty good feedback from everyone who has tried it.

It is definitely funky, but I wouldn't call it barnyard funk. It has a nice fruitiness to it which I can see would enhance a west coast ipa. I could also see this working nicely in a Brett brown ale.

How long have most of you that have used this kept it in primary/secondary before bottling/kegging it? I have had mine going since the 5th so alomst 3 weeks. Will it help it much/dry it out much more to keep it in for another few weeks? Have most of you found that it's pretty much done after about a month?
I'm going to taste it when I brew in a couple days, it smelled amazing during fermentation!

Been a long time since I thought about that beer. It had a bigger funk to it than I expected and didn't go well with the hop schedule that I had.

Ended up drinking it but it's not a strain that I'll be using again, at least not in an IPA. Didn't get as fruity as I had hoped.
