Help identify this Hop, maybe Pilgrim ?

[godfrey]

Does anyone have a pilgrim bine ?

I think I have found a pilgrim and would love to see some pics of the plant and cones
to compare with the unknown variety I found

the cones are very small and loose
they have a strong citrus aroma (lemon or grapefruit)
it is quite a late variety as there are still new flowers appearing
none of the cones are ready to harvest yet
although a few early cones are getting quite close to harvest time
it will probably be a few more weeks to go

I am sure this is a cultivated variety

it is in my neighbours garden there are 2 or 3 younger hop plants nearby
I guess these young ones are new wild varietys,
with less aroma and bigger cones....
but the aroma of the old plant is too intense on the unripe cones to be wild

regardless of the variety it is an awesome hop
I have already taken some cuttings
and will ask for rhizomes after it is dormant

found a picture of pilgrim

will need to wait for the cones to ripen
before I can start trying to identify it

think I will order the hop atlas, should help in identification

here is a cone from the unknown variety

might also be brewers gold ?

 

[godfrey]

the more I look at this hop the more I am thinking brewers gold

I just ordered the hop variety handbook from amazon
it is currently discounted to £5.74
and you can get free shipping

if this doesn't help identify it, I will order the hop atlas

More importantly try a brew, maybe a 1 gallon one just to see how it tastes.

 

[godfrey]

well the dan woodske book is no use to me
to help identify the variety

it has no cone or plant pictures

I think the real question is...

Are those the pinkest fingers ever seen?
