Making an Old Ale soon. Anyone used Wyeast 9097Old Ale Blend? If so, what is it like?

Yup, used it when it was last available. Worked out really well for me, fermented out nicely leaving a bit of fruitiness and just a touch of cherry flavour from the bugs. It was so nice it all got drunk before it had enough time to age properly....

Another option would be WLP002 or Wyeast 1968.
I'm just here for the beer.
