Chinook offers an attractive floral bouquet with ripe melon and an earthy, piney citrusness. Compared to Chinook grown out west, Connecticut’s sun and soil produce a Chinook with much more fruit and much less pine. It could easily replace a fruit-forward New Zealand hop (Nelson Sauvin, Rakau, Southern Cross in particular). The fruit- and flower-forward Chinook is very versatile and is an especially good aroma hop in pale ales, saisons and IPAs.
