Does this look like it could actually be a first year Saaz? From what I've read, Saaz cones should be small and light. I guess they're light, but what defines small? Some of the larger cones are a good 1.75 inches. I guess they were some nice rhizomes. For a first year, I'd have been happy to get anything, let alone this. Sorry about the crummy pics.

Here's a couple pics of the Crystal. Burrs are just now beginning to form into cones. Might get a decent haul out of this one

And finally, a Hallertauer cone. Cones are a bit more spread out on this plant. Some younger bines are starting to produce some nice burrs/cones.
