Unfortunately, I've never had the real thing... but with that many awards, anything even close should be pretty good. Now is my chance while I have the 1469

If you can still remember what was this yeast like?

I don't remember with great detail, but I would say the description Wyeast give is pretty close. I don't recall experiencing "Expect moderate nutty and stone-fruit esters", but that may be a factor of the temperatures I used and recipe etc..

I didn't particularly love the recipe above, but I also used this yeast in an English IPA, which easy stands out as one of my top 5 favorite batches all time. How much of that would be yeast specific experience, hard to say. I would certainly pick this yeast for English styles over some other strains, like 1098.
