Any idea what kind of hops?

[Joel626]

I found these hops in my neighborhood. Anyone know what kind of hops they may be? Any help would be appreciated. Picture below. Thanks.

Are they growing wild or not ? Are you living near the Rockies ?? By the leaves, they look like wild hops... humulus lupulus neomexicanus

I think they are probably wild. Park City Utah. Any good for brewing?

Haven't brew yet with neomexicanus, but I have one plant... there is some selected varieties available on the market.

You will not get poisoned if that is your question.

If they smell good, try them ! It seems like a high yielding plant, lucky you.

Split them down the middle and look for the yellow glands. If it smells good then it will probably be good. Then brew up a batch and see.

They have yellow glands. Smells good and tastes like my favorite IPA. Thanks for the advice.
