SingleHop Chinook

I had to wait a few minutes for alterations when I picked up my new Easter suit at a menswear store on Main St., Cedar Falls. So while Sandy shopped in some knickknack stores I strolled down to SingleSpeed's tasting room to see what was new. Food is new there, I'm happy to see. The menu looked good; I'll have to go back when I can stay longer. I ordered what the guy on the stool next to me was having -- a SingleHop Chinook, part of an ongoing SingleHop series. Featuring the unique flavor profile of one variety at time makes a good learning experience. I learned I like Chinook.

Their description is accurate and pretty much well said: This American IPA features the Chinook hop variety, know [sic] for its resinous pine notes and distinctive grapefruit character.  Chinook is a versatile hop that provides this ale a solid bitterness laid alongside a pyramid of aromatics.
