A co-worker pointed me to this hop, and I am hoping that somebody might be able to point me in the right direction as to what it is. The farmer that owns the field behind it says he does not know anything about it, and didn't even realize it was there. He also says that the area used to grow hops (Harrisburg Oregon). He has been farming the land behind it for at least 30 years. I sampled a couple of the cones (and have almost a pound of dried hops) from it. It has a very similar to Cascade flavor, but its also kinda spicy. It has a very Cascade oder to it, but it also has a strong marijuana odor to it.
I am planning a brew with it in the next couple weeks to try its flavor in a mild pale ale.
