My brother and sister-in-law picked up some fresh hops for me from someone who grows/harvests them. I had them ask the person what kind they were and they told them "Northern Tier." I've never heard of these kinds and a quick google search turned up nothing. Anyone have any idea what "Northern Tier" hops are? Confused

Could they have meant northern brewer?

That was my first thought too, but the grower said "no, they're northern tier."

I guess I'll just smell them or make a hop tea when I get them to see if they're more of a noble(ish)/smooth type of hop vs a floraly/citrus hop bomb and brew with them accordingly.

Interesting, maybe it's some new experimental variety?

You could do a leaf comparison if you had the leaves. Apparently comparing the cones themselves is not that accurate.
