This rounded, juicy version of Chinook is unique to the alluvial Oregon terroir where it is grown. You can expect aromas of grapefruit, pineapple, mixed herbs and flowers, as well as juniper and gin berries.
Chinook was released in 1985 by the USDA in Prosser, Washington. Chinook is a cross of Petham Golding and a USDA high alpha male, and was originally considered a high alpha hop on its release. Chinook's resinous pine/juniper character and catchy grapefruit-citrus finish caught the attention of craft brewers, and a new flavour hop took hold.
