not a whole lot written there.  I have seen more on some facebook feeds/comments.

 

Vinnie is reported to be a simcoe/cascade like mix and armadillo is similar to Amarillo.

 

I think there are others that will be offered too.

Are these single hop varieties or someone's proprietary blend?

They are not blends as far as I can tell.  And by blends I am assuming you mean 7c's, FF and what not.  Seeing they are only offered as leafs I would pretty much guarantee they are not blends of any kind

Yep I see it now… Yakima Valley Hops. You're going to have to report back here on what you get from them.

I already got the shipping confirmation for my hops so now I just need to free some space up in the next couple of weeks and BREW!

One of the breweries I consult for has a bunch of experimental organic hops for me to test.  Gotta go pick them up one of these days!

It's getting tougher to stay on top of all these new hop varieties. In the next couple of weeks, I will be brewing with two 'new' varieties for me... German Hull Melon and Australian Summer. Has anyone brewed with these and have a review?

I think, "This is a cross, ah, Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sens%milia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can brew 36 batches on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get st*ned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff. Here, I've got pounds of this." ~ Carl Spackler

Oh man, if only I could smoke my hops and get high after I was done brewing...

Gents, we all have our vices, thankfully.
