Super Golding Hops?

Has anyone ever heard of Super Golding hops? I picked up some from my LBHS a couple days ago and will be using them to bitter my next batch. The employee said they're a variation of the American grown Styrian Golding with higher AA percentages.

Doing a search on Google netted nothing.

I used some "Super Styrians" recently is this what you have?

I also used some Super Styrian recently. I believe they are similar to Aurora. I've read that they have similar bittering properties to Northern Brewer but are a little less harsh. I've also read that they have some interesting/pleasant aroma characteristics but I've only used them for bittering in small amounts. They are definitely NOTHING like Styrian Goldings.

I dunno. All the package said was "Super Goldings" - but I suspect they're the same.

This is good. I brewed a "winter" Saison Saturday using these as the bittering hop (see http://brewlog.zkdigital.com/index.php?page=brewBlogDetail&id=129).

I'll update here when the batch is ready.
