Chinook Hops
Chinook is a bold, dual-purpose hop developed by the USDA and released in 1985. Originally bred for its high alpha acids and robust bittering potential, Chinook has become a favorite among craft brewers for its distinctive pine, spice, and grapefruit character. Its versatility allows it to be used effectively at any stage of the brewing process, from early boil additions to dry hopping, imparting a complex and assertive flavor profile.

- Flavors: Pine, spice, grapefruit, resinous, herbal
- Primary Usage: Dual-purpose (bittering and aroma)

Background
Chinook's lineage includes Petham Golding and a USDA-developed male hop, resulting in a variety that combines high alpha acid content with a unique aromatic profile. Its moderate cohumulone levels contribute to a smooth bitterness, while its rich oil composition delivers a pungent aroma that stands out in hop-forward beers.
