Thanks, John. Yes, I found that article while I was doing a google
search for red hops. As you've noted, mine are different. I must say
that the beer turned out to be very nice, so I'm ordering some more. I
just wish I new for a fact what they are; in looking at the info again,
the supplier actually referred to them as "German Red Hops", but that
doesn't produce any more info through google, either.
Cheers.
