Belma hops

2 questions
1) anyone used them?
2) anyone know where I can get some?

They don't seem to be on sale in any of the usual suspects and a Google search doesn't help much.

I read an article about them. Intense strawberry taste apparently. Which sounds very interesting in a slightly wrong way.

'These dual purpose American hops were developed by Puterbagh Farms in Washington State to offer just the right hoppy notes to compliment Pale Malt Ales. Featuring a wonderfully tropical aroma of pineapple, strawberry, and citrus, other notes include melon and light floral. Though this hop is new to the scene, it has been well received thus far and is said to craft a tasty brew when paired with hops like Calypso, Zythos, and Citra. An alpha acid content of around 10% *along with the bright, fruity flavors makes for an incredibly versatile hop.'

Never used them. Quote above taken from the 'Massive Hop List' sticky thread ^

Ta. Should have said, I found that shop but they don't actually have any. If you try to add to basket it just goes to an empty basket, it also shows they have 99999 in stock. Which I suspect is 99999 more than they really do.
