Chinook

The Chinook hop is a cross between a Petham Golding and a USDA-selected male with high alpha-acids and good storage properties.

Chinook is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process.

Chinook can be slightly spicy and have a smoky earthiness quality. It has an impressive pine and resin character, with distinct spice and grapefruit. Use sparingly in the boil as it can add a harsh bitterness if overused.

Some hops just taste better together. We recently analyzed [ 1 ] hundreds of the most popular beers to find which hops are commonly paired together. We found that Centennial , Cascade , Simcoe , Columbus , Citra & Amarillo hops are commonly used alongside the Chinook hop. This is not a complete list, but should give you a good idea of what hops are commonly used together.
