Chinook beings with a vague, swampy smell that's not overpoweringly bad, but is entirely misplaced in a would-be IPA. The taste speaks more strongly of a pale ale that missed the boat to India. It hosts a modest burnt ginger flavor melded to something akin to tree bark. There's also a slight wash of honey water.

Chinook is warm goldenrod and fails to dispense any head or lace. The inscription on the Atomic pint glass it's served in reads, "scientific proof that flavor does exist." In this case, that's unfortunate.
