I've never used it, but it sounds like it would be best as a flavor & aroma hop. VIGOR: very good

OTHER INFORMATION: In older Cluster yards in the Grants Pass (OR) area and also in some Yakima yards, Canadian RedVine was mixed in with Clusters. Canadian RedVine probably originated in Canda (hence the name) and due to its extreme vigor and rhizome production it spread rapidly. Farm workers were given orders to collect roots from an existing Cluster field in preparation for new Cluster plantings and when they found a huge crown (probably RedVine) that yielded several hundred roots (rhizomes) they could easily fill their bucket from one crown which, sadly, was not Cluster.

look on info you pulled up where it says origin Bob Bero that is who i got my cutting from all of them and the red vine is only one that is still growing after 9 years of neglect. i will need to open it up and seperate to propagate some more
so i will have some cuttings of rizomes.

Cool, I suspect there are others that would be interested. One of the joys of growing your own hops is to have something odd, like Sunbeam, that isn't generally available.
