Shipped wrong hops

[SlanginDueces]

I am getting ready to brew a traditional Helles over the holiday weekend and ordered my Hallertau on the internets...unfortunately they screwed up and what came in the mail today was ahtanum. I need to brew this weekend so I don't have time to wait for them to resend. I am not familiar with ahtanum, how off would it be if I used it? Would the end result be worth all the lagering time?

Ahatnum is way closer to Cascade than to Hallertau - German or US.
It's going to produce something entirely different from a traditional anything...

Cheers!

I believe they're pretty American and citrusy. It would probably make an interesting Helles, but definitely not traditional.
