Flavour is elegantly hoppy, grapefruit, light piney, some apricot. Fine malty balance. Long, lovely, lingering bitterness.
Bottle from Tanakaya. Pours a fairly clear copper with a nice offwhite head that leaves good lacing and hangs around throughout. Pine resin, caramel, grapefruit on the nose with the caramel becoming more pronounced toward the end. Taste is more of the same. Nice bitter and slightly peppery finish with great balance. Solid IPA.

330 ml bottle. Hazy orange-amber color with white foam. Aroma: strong citrus, pine needles, fruits and something spicy. Taste with a strong carbonation, malty body, citrus, grapefruit, mango and pine needles.
hazy orange to amber colour, huge slightly yellowish off-white head; aroma of citrusy-grapefruity-piney notes with hints of peach (?); taste is the same with surprisingly intensive caramel notes (which of course does not overwhelm the hoppyness at all); amazing IPA
Pours a clear caramel yellow with a noticeably large white head which lingers. Aroma is piney and earthy hops with a slightly floral presence. Taste is citrus bitter, earthy and grapefruit citrus vibes. Medium-full bodied.
Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; clear amber pour with a big frothy off white head, light citrus aroma, taste has biscuity malts, citrus, hint of grapefruit, some spicy background, easy drinking.
Bottle. Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Hazy amber. Messy, sticky, lasting, white head. Pithy, pink grapefruit. Some strawberry. Touch of spice. Ginger biscuit, maybe. Taste is fruity bitter. Light, spicy dry. Palate has a chew on it. Finishes spicy bitter. Expected more punchy hop.
Shared bottle. Pours is cloudy orange with thick persistent white head. Aroma of sweet tropical fruits, mango, red orange peel, light pineapple, grapefruit. Taste is bitter. citric, grapefruit, orange, light fruity sweet. Medium to full body, creamy texture, flat carbonation.
Draft at Mikkeller and Friends in Reykjavik The ale poured cloudy amber color with small head and lacing. Some grapefruit on the nose. The full body ale had average carbonation. There was sour taste as well as grapefruit and a hint of pine resin. Bitterness rolls into a clean, dry finish for a pleasantly quaffable brew.
On tap at Mikkeller Bar Stockholm.
A bit hazy amber with a small white head. Fresh and hoppy with grapefruit, some pineapple and hay. The finish was on the dry side and rather bitter. A descent beer.

Chciałoby się rzec - co Mikkeller, to Mikkeller. Nie kojarzę, żebym miał okazję pić jakiegoś single hop z chmielem w odmianie Chinook. Ciemnozłota barwa ze średnią acz urodziwą pianą. Aromat dał się wyczuć zaraz po otwarciu. Po przelaniu do teku, ukazała się cała paleta aromatów. Cytrusy, szczególnie grejpfrut wyróżniały się zdecydowanie. Niemałą rolę odegrały też nuty świerkowe i w tle nieco karmelu. Solidna baza słodowa i mocna kontra chmielowa wraz ze wspomnianymi aromatami stworzyły piwo pełne w smaku, treściwe i bardzo przyjemne w piciu! Bardzo dobre piwo!
Bottle at home. Hazy orange pour, creamy white head. Aroma of fruity hops, floral, citrus and slightly sweaty. Flavor is quite bitter, fruity and with a hint of caramel. Nice body, clean and smooth.
Not as intense as the other hops, but this one had a good aroma and taste of pines and light citrus. Amber pour, with a medium head, good lacing. Quite enjoyed it.
Aroma has pear, mascarpone. Pours hazy amber, minimal head, some lacing. Taste has spruce, heavy bitterness, no sweetness. Medium body, medium carbonation, bitter finish.
Not a very complex ipa, but with just one hop is enjoyable. Lot of tropical and ripe fruity notes and a spicy touch.
Mikkeller Single Hop Chinook IPA jest piwem o klasycznym wyglądzie piwa w stylu IPA: miedziany delikatnie zamglony z gęstą obfitą pianą, która oblepia szklankę. W aromacie mamy duże bogactwo zapachów jak na single hop’a: nuty żywiczne, trawiaste, ziołowe, orzechy, grejpfruta. Chinnok posiada bardzo wysoką, aczkolwiek krótką goryczkę, która jest o charakterze ziołowym. Gorycz jest zrównoważona przyjemną słodyczą. Kompozycja smakowa tworzy pijalne, wytrawne piwo.
"Citrus peel and a little spice seem to be the dominant players in this particular single Hopper from Mikkeller. I like it. Probably middle if the road or so for the series, but nice."
Interesting hop aroma - enjoying trying the single hop beers. Chinook has more of a pine and perfume profile than the citrus that I love. Decent IPA, watery mouthfeel and I can see why Chinook is most often paired with other hops and not usually featured solo.
It's delicious of course. It's Mikkeller it's chinook how do you think this is going to go? Yes it's earthy warm cinnamon without the cinnamon flavor. Yes it can be the only beer you drink. But it won't.
