I find English ale yeast too fruity and full of character for this style. Wyeast 1728 or White Labs WLP-028 are probably better, but WLP-001 is very clean, highly attenuative and highly flocculant and can ferment cold around 62 or 64. The recipe was good and I've made it a few times. Good luck, Tom

OK I will give it a try...
