i debated 3 yeass for this and settled on the WLP 041 pacific ale fermented @ 70 degrees.
other options were wyeast 1272 american ale II and wyeast 1332 pacific northwest. if anyone tried these let me know the results as i will definitely be brewing this again.

O.G. 1.072
F.G. 1.018
IBU 67
alc/vol 6.7%

3.5 gallon boil
5 gallon top off in fermenter.

Looks good.

Although I've brewed AG for years, one of my favourite yeasts for American ales is Denny's Favourite 50.
It ticks all the boxes for me, as it allows the malt and the hops to shine through, and it's a quick clean fermenter.
Better than WY1056 which gives a much more neutral character to your beer.

Having said that, I have not used the yeasts you mentioned in recent years, so can't really remember what they bring to the beer.
