WL080 Cream Ale Blend--any benefit to lager?

[CastleHollow]

I brewed up the following cream ale recipe a few weeks ago:

4# Pilsner (2 Row) Ger
3# Rahr Two-Row
1# Flaked Corn (Maize)
12oz Cane Sugar
4oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine

1 oz German Tradition hops at various intervals (19 IBUs)

It's been fermenting well at 65 degrees with WL080 Cream Ale blend for 2 weeks. Since this is a blended strain, I was wondering if this yeast would tolerate a few more weeks at 48-50 degrees. Any one try lagering this particular strain before? Or any opinions on whether it would make any difference for this recipe?

Thanks for your insights!

Decided to go ahead and lager it, figure it can't hurt. Will report back if it sucks.

I don't know of a beer that doesn't get better with some (or a LOT) of time. The one that stands out was a Barleywine that was not good for 18 months, then it won a best of show at a local event.

I aged my cream ale with this yeast at 33f for two weeks. You will noticed it takes this beer some time to clear with this yeast. I rinsed the yeast and i will try making an American Brown ale with it.
