Welcome :hat:from Devon.

Seems like you have a variant of Northern Brewer, rampant grower, it is spelt as one word nordbrau (Dutch ?) should be good for your beer. Quote:

• Pedigree: Seedling selection WEB 135, raised in 1934 from Canterbury Golding, crossed with a male seedling from Brewer's Gold. Canterbury Golding is an old English variety identical to East Kent Golding.
• General Trade Perception: A strong fragrant hop with a rich rough-hewn flavor and aroma, ideal for steam-style beers and ales. Northern Brewer has a unique mint-like evergreen flavor.
• Possible Substitutions: Chinook, US Northern Brewer, German Brewer's Gold.
• Beer Styles: ESB, Bitter, English Pale Ale, Porter, Lager, Lambic, Munich Helles.
• Maturity: Early - Mid season
• Growth Habit: Quite vigorous and strong growing.
• Disease Reaction: Susceptible to downy and powdery mildew but tolerant to German hop wilt. No strong virus reactions.
• Pickability: Good.
• Lupulin: Medium yellow, fairly abundant.
• Cone Structure: Medium-sized cone, only fairly compact.
• Aroma: Medium-strong with some wild American tones.

Hope this helps,
Regards
