So, I've made 3 beers with this yeast so far. Two hazies, one with fruit, and one fruited pale ale. This yeast is great. The two hazies were two of my favorite brews recently. The other was just kegged, so maybe it'll be good. The main thing I will say is that the two hazies were made with fresh packs of the philly sour, and the pale was made with a repitch. The repitch definitely has less of the fruity sourness that I enjoyed so much of in the two sour Hazy IPAs. I think it'll still be a drinkable beer, but on my first repitch experience, the flavor fades quite a bit. Anyways, i just wanted to throw out my two cents. Philly Sour is pretty awesome, and has a wonderful tart and fruity flavor that makes for a crushable sour. I personally found the flavor to be more complex than what I've experienced with other kettle sour styles, and without the hassle of reboils or other steps like that. That just might be my experience, but it's definately easier to use, and you don't have to worry as much about over or under shooting the acidity. I've used some other lacto producing yeasts in the past, and this is by far one of my favorites for both its flavor and performance. i would only recommend using fresh packs. I might mess around with repitching some more in the future, but at 5 bucks a pack (another major plus for me) I don't feel like It's necessary.
