Chinook
Chinook hops are a very distinctive dual-purpose hop used in Ales for both bittering and flavor/aroma. Chinook hops are commonly used in IPA's. Distinct, medium intensity spice and pine characteristics with subtle notes of grapefruit. Some consider the bittering quality of this hop is a bit rough because it lingers in your mouth after swallowing. However, some brewers can't get enough. The flavor/aroma is spicy and unique, with a huge following of loyal fans.
Made a quick extract Pale Ale-style brew with some hops sitting in the freezer.
Initial attempt at an Arrogant Bastard Clone. First beer where I made a starter.
Got some yeast from Dave and trying to make something with a high ABV. Pitching a lot of yeast, so attenuation shouldn't be an issue.
Sudzers had a comp to brew Anchor Steam, so this was my attempt.
