Common Hop Humulus lupulus
Family: Hemp
Branching: Alternate / Non-woody
This introduced vine is the source of the hops used in beer.
Despite being non-woody, the majority of the vine is still
visible in the winter. The fruit are distinctive when seen,
though they don't last very long before falling apart. I don't
have pictures but see Ironwood fruits, as they look similar.
