Anyone know of a yeast strain similar to Antwerp?

WLP515 Antwerp Ale Yeast
http://www.whitelabs.com/beer/strains_wlp515.html

I'm looking to use this in one of my upcoming batches. Unfortunately, it's a Platinum strain and is only available in Nov/Dec. Does anyone know of any yeast similar to that one? Here's some data from the site:

Clean, almost lager like Belgian type ale yeast. Good for Belgian type pales ales and amber ales, or with blends to combine with other Belgian type yeast strains. Biscuity, ale like aroma present. Hop flavors and bitterness are accentuated. Slight sulfur will be produced during fermentation, which can give the yeast a lager like flavor profile.

Attenuation: 73-80%
Flocculation: Medium
Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 67-70°F
Alcohol Tolerance: Medium

Thanks!

What about the Belgian Schelde yeast? I think that was the last WY private collection released last round. There might still be some at NB or Midwest Supplies.

Hmm, possibly. I actually used that yeast two batches ago for a Belgian Pale. One of the keys I'm looking for is "Biscuity." The Antwerp is the only yeast I've ever seen described that way.

I was given a few vials of this a couple months ago. I was going to grow some up for a brew soon. If you can hold off a month I could send you some.

I certainly could! I have a Sweet Stout to brew this week and a Bohemian Pils to brew after that, so I have at least a month before I'm going to brew my Brussels Biscuit Ale recipe.
