Last year I tried freezing yeast for the first time and so far everything has gone OK.
So this week I thawed out a WLP -800 white labs strain that I have.
I pitched it into a 1 cup starter and after 24 hours on a stir plate the yeast where happy.
Then I pitched it into a 3 cup starter and after 24 hours on the stir plate it fermented out but it has a lemon fruit nose to it something like a Wheat beer. That the best way I can describe it.
I decided to taste it and it was hard to judge without hops. It kinda taste like it smelled, not good not bad.
On a side note the yeast was brought back to life at room temp and it's a lager yeast. I've put it in the fridge to see what settles out.
