We present time-series observations, spectra and archival outburst data of anewly-discovered variable star in Hercules, Var Her 04. Its orbital period,mass ratio, and outburst amplitude resemble those of the UGWZ-type subclass ofUGSU dwarf novae. However, its supercycle and outburst light curve defyclassification as a clear UGWZ. Var Her 04 is most similar to the small groupof possible hydrogen-burning ``period bouncers'', dwarf novae that have passedbeyond the period minimum and returned.
