Stink Currant
Ribes bracteosum

This is a common plant in well-drained areas along river bottoms. Sometimes it forms thickets in openings, other times it grows at the edge of rivers. Another common name is Gray Currant, for the gray bloom on the berries. The plant does have a strong and distinctive odor, though I do not consider it unpleasant.
