Identical IPAs...with US-05 and WLP-008

I didn't know what to expect when conducting this crude experiment, but I can tell you the different yeasts made noticeable differences in the finished beers. Both are good, but the US-05 one is noticeably clearer (go figure). The WLP-008 has more grapefruit/Amarillo presence. Here's the recipe if anyone is interested:

8.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) Bel (3.0 SRM) Grain 66.67 %
2.00 lb Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 16.67 %
0.50 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 4.17 %
0.50 lb Crystal 55 (55.0 SRM) Grain 4.17 %
0.25 lb Aromatic Malt (26.0 SRM) Grain 2.08 %
0.25 lb Honey Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 2.08 %
1.00 oz Centennial [8.60 %] (Dry Hop 14 days) Hops -
2.00 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [13.90 %] (Dry Hop 14 days) Hops -
1.00 oz Chinook [13.00 %] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 47.3 IBU
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] (Dry Hop 14 days) Hops -
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (20 min) Hops 11.0 IBU
1.00 oz Chinook [13.00 %] (15 min) Hops 21.4 IBU
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (10 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) Hops -
2.00 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [13.90 %] (10 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) Hops -
0.50 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] (10 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) Hops -
0.50 lb Sugar, Table (Sucrose) (1.0 SRM) Sugar 4.17 %

 

Like I said, both batches were identical, brewed back-to-back 2/7 and 2/14 and tasted side-by-side. Believe it or not, the US-05 wasn't really drier... in fact it finished 1 point higher (1.013) than the WLP-008 batch...again, go figure.
