3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20Chill hazy burnt copper pour with large seafoam khaki head and sticky lacing. Nose is red apple, not diacetyl, with a hint of natural floral sweetness like an apple has. Flavor is much spicer than expected, with a semi-sweet lingering herbal bitterness. Good for learning about the hop. Not a particularly desirable beer.

Bottle. The look is clear, has an off white head, and copper in color. The smell is hops, pine, citrus, and good. The taste is hops, nice, bitterness, pine, and citrus.

Dark golden color with a nice head. This ale really celebrates the Chinook hop. A spicy citrus aroma although the ale shows signs of aging. I imagine this ale would fare even better with a fresher ale. Balanced malts to back it up - but it doesn’t steal any spotlight from the hop profile. A nice single hop.

Aroma is citrus-orange, yeast and light spiced bread. The flavor is citrus, toffee, malts and a tangy/lingeringly bitter finish.

Hazy dark amber beer. Good white head. Light semi soft and dry palate. Minerally bitter orange with a touch of grapefruit. FInishes dry. All right.

UPDATED: SEP 7, 2012 A superb scent of hops, caramel malts, and a fruit like twist. The caramel malts give off a sweetness that is soon put into check by the hops and a tart taste of fruit. The only negative I found is that this beverage seduced me by its innocence... and I found out quickly that the chinook single hop is not so innocent as it led me to believe. And that is why I enjoyed this brew ten fold.

Grassy, pine, and mild malt aroma. Copper-orange, off white head. Full bodied, citrus, grapefruit, and burnt malt flavors. Balanced and medium bitterness.

Rich amber/orange color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of floral/herbal hops, caramel malt, & citrus; Flavor of sweet malt, caramel/toffee, pine hops, some fruit, and citrus (notably grapefruit); Finish is bitter; Nicely balanced; Overall, I was expecting a stronger pine/resin taste from the Chinook hops - solid IPA though.
