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