    I am guessing this is my answer: “Yellow lupin

    You should also see yellow lupin near the lupin glands in the hop. This is easily seen at the top of the hops. The color is not subtle. The yellow will be bright, and is sometimes referred to as “traffic paint yellow”.

    Thanks for your help.

    Cheers!

    Yea, for some reason my Cascade always seems to be a week or 2 ahead of the others. No explanation. Location in at parents house, in full sun...by the Quakertown, PA area. Only picked from top though, not mature enough lower. My Chinooks were definitely not ready.
