Formerly known as Equinox and HBC 366, Ekuanot is one of the newer hop varietals to receive considerable attention, and with good reason. Developed and released in 2014 by Hop Breeding Company, Ekuanot has surged in popularity and growing acreage. The ridiculously high oil content (2.5-4.0 mls per 100g) and desirable aromatics have lead breweries of all sizes to flock to this hop. Great for all beer styles but definitely featured in IPAs and other hop forward beers. Ekuanot is described as having aromas of melon, berry, orange peel, lime, papaya, pine and fresh peppers. Try it in your next batch and see what flavours you find!
