Add bold, classic West Coast character to your hop yard with Chinook. This popular American variety is known for its punchy piney, resinous aroma with layered grapefruit/citrus and light spice—a great fit if you like assertive hop character in IPAs, pale ales, and big, hop-forward beers.
Chinook can bring a distinct “dank” edge and is often used for both bittering and aroma, making it a versatile plant to grow at home once it’s established.
