Commercial Description:
Dry-hopped ale proves how a pure malt ale can be both elegant and subtle.

Amber coloured. Sweetish, medium bodied, medium to low bitterness.

Is it just me or does that description above not make any sense at all? But more to the point, DON’T LET THE NAME FOOL YOU! This beer is named after the Chinook salmon, not the chinook hop. In fact, this is lousy even by Big Rock’s rather poor standards.

There was almost no head in this beer. Pale orangey golden look. Low in gas. Some grape and flower aroma but not in appealing way ... Slightly acidic, nothing special tats for sure.

Toronto Festival of Beer 2001 - Unremarkable beer. Disappointing pale ale, expecting more hops and more malt.
