Vermont ale yeah.

This is the first time I've used this yeast and its in a Citra IPA of 1061 OG from the vial straight into 22L. Looks good now (see pic) but took 20hrs to get going.

I'm still getting used to it. Definite esters that mix well with fruity hops, but I'm struggling to get it to attenuate reliably.

I've had a 1.074 IPA attenuate down to 1.014 but then a recent 1.086 DIPA only dropped to 1.022, and it's slightly struggling to carb up in the bottle.

While I could be wrong, that attenuation pattern looks like the culture you received has an alcohol threshold of approximately 8% ABV to me.
