11.0-13.0% alpha. Grows well in dry, hot climates. Great ornamental hop. Does not grow well in moist climates. Subject to spider mite. Chinook was developed by the USDA breeeding program in Washington State from a cross between Petham Golding and a USDA-selected male with high alpha acids and good storage properties. It was released in 1985 as a multipurpose high alpha acid vaiety with a mild to medium-heavy spicy aroma profile and fair storage stability. Matures mid to late season and is currently grown in Washington and Idaho and in small quantities in Oregon. The variety grows vigorously in all growing areas and yields best in the Yakima region. Alpha acid content is high, while beta acid content is low compared to other high alpha acid varieties.
