Dry hop with 2 oz for one week.

Slight spice and very citrus/fruity on the nose. Great overall hop bitterness, slightly resinous yet full. Special B does a great job to restrain this hop, noticeable raisin and caramel taste throughout but in no way gets in the way of the chinook hops. Will brew again!
 
There she is, a bit dark from the 90 min special B boil but very tasty!
