Default Hops?

I'm a bit surprised this thread didn't include a mention of some of the new
"dwarf" hop varieties which are emminently suitable for home-growing. I
grew some "primadonna" last year a single "hill" in a large-ish pot,
climbed nicely to around 7 feet and produced plenty of cones. Marshalls
also have a variety called "Diva" this year...

I take it you brewed with them then?
any good?
the only dwarf variety I know of with proven brewing track record is
First Gold - mediumly bitter with quite a pleasant orangey fruit
taste/aroma.
