34 Year Old IPA Virgin

One of the joys of craft brewing is that there are no set recipes (in a style) and each brewer can pick and choose among various malts, yeasts, and hops to make a beer. Two brewers can brew in the same style and come up with completely different beers. Keep trying other IPAs and see if it's a style you like. You should also try British IPAs, which I would call a different style from American IPAs.

I have been told that a piney taste comes from Chinook hops (and I won't argue if someone corrects me here).

Yeah, if I had tried RedHooks ESB, I probably wouldn't like that style untill I had tried Bass, which I think is perfectly balanced between sweet/bitter...I consider it the 'authentic classic standard' for that style right now...
