Growing Zenith hop..... does anyone know this variety?

[ofobrewing]

Hi Guys

Starting to grow my own hops at home and I got hold of one ZENITH rhizome (you can't say no to a present can you....)
to my surprise there is little to none information available out there.

Only that is has 9 - 11% Alpha acids and 3% Beta, but no aroma or flavor profile

I even found "Has a good aroma. Not too available"

Thanks in advance
