WLP002 vs. 1968 ESB

Does anyone here believe that these are different yeast strains or that they would produce different results with the same wort?

According to the charts floating around, they are the same.

If you received different results, was EVERYTHING the same? Mash temp, boil length, hops AA, fermentation temp, length of aging, carbonation level, serving temp…

So many variables could change your perception of the beer.

Are you drinking them side by side or “remembering” what the other tasted like?
