There is a reason why it's called the "cousin". What is the one plant that is related to Hops?
Let me give you a hint...

I've got 4 oz of Zeus in the freezer, has anyone found these to have that same sweet, sweet, sticky aroma as Columbus? I know that they're supposed to be closely related and have even heard from someone that they are actually the same variety from a different supplier... but I have no idea, it's not quite as easy as comparing Sour Diesel to Train Wreck

Seriously though, Zeus aroma = Columbus aroma ?

If memory serves there was a lawsuit a few years ago between the growers of the 2 varieties. I believe the evidence show the 2 hops were identical DNA

I have the pleasure of living in the midst of the U.S. hop growing region and this is a very fragrant time of year. It's kind of skunky sometimes. I picked up a vine that fell off a truck and it took up my entire back seat. My car still smells of it.
