Got this one from my local brewery. The guy said it was some sort of Cascade hybrid that only grows in the shade. Well, I planted it in partial shade and it's doing fantastic.

But it's unlike any hop I've seen. The bine is probably about 4 times thicker than anything I've ever seen (almost the size of a US dime!) and it's red with light green leaves.

Anyone know what variety this is or have seen it before? (It's about a 3 year old rhizome)





And just for ****s and giggles, here's a 4 year old one that I received as well (Possable canidates for the type: Cascade, Mt. Hood, or Saaz)

My Mt Hood started off real thick and a little red like yours, but yours being the size of a dime is huge. Mine were about pencil thick. Once they got about a foot high, they started greening up

Possibly Sunbeam as that's the shade loving one and has the lighter colored leaves.

I ran across this thread, it's the only time I've seen anything about a red vine. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/any-one-use-canadian-red-vine-hops-17294/

I hope it's Canadian RedVine instead of Sunbean...Sunbeam sounds kinda crapy.

Would you guys say the leaves in the picture look lemon yellow or light green (I know color will vary from monitor to monitor).

Hard to say, it's close between light green and yellow.

Light Lemon Green?

I'd say wait it out. Let it flower, dry em, and try em. Maybe your soils will give it something different and make it worthwhile. Maybe not.

Anything at this point would be speculative.

My Centennial bine has started out red. Looks like a medium size red asparagus right now.
