I guess the only American Pale Ale's I've had are SN and North Coast. Both of those I thought were fantastic. BJ's I also enjoy tremendously. However the taste is a little different than the former 2. There seems to be a much longer and prevalent strong "piney" flavor. They use both Chinook and Cascade hops so is this taste coming from one of these, anyone know which one it might be?

I would guess the Chinook...I believe Simcoe also is very piney.

Cascade seems to be more of a citrusy or grapefruity hop flavor, IIRC.
