Gotta say I'd be a bit dubious about a single-hop Chinook beer. Getting good press is it?
I don't know. But being Mallinsons, it isn't likely to be bad.
Chinook makes for a fantastic single-hop trans-Atlantic half-IPA! I've brewed it a number of times at home now, though I was a skeptic at first.
Have a few for me in absentia.
Lucky plucker.
If you like hops, Chinook is one of the best you can pick for a single-hop IPA. You usually get a herbal aroma and all the characteristics of a good American IPA.
Had a few over the years and no one has managed to balls it up yet. So Mallinsons should be top draw.
I am never quite sure what to think about Chinook, I recently brewed an Abbeyish beer which I single hopped with Chinook, expecting a load of classic American flavours and aromas and ended up with something that tasted like a less sweet Leffe.
Perhaps "only" doing 30ish IBU was the reason?
Chinook makes a lovely single hop beer: more of a resiny pine than citrusy grapefruit.
