Ekuanot® Hop Pellets – 1 oz
Ekuanot® (formerly known as HBC 366) is anything but boring. At first sip, it’s familiar—bright, tropical, juicy—with notes of mango, papaya, and citrus that call to mind Mosaic® and Citra®. But just when you think you’ve got it figured out, Ekuanot® throws in a twist: a whisper of green pepper, herbal complexity, and something delightfully difficult to define. Fruity but not exactly fruit. Spicy but sweet. It’s this unexpected balance that makes Ekuanot® an unforgettable hop you truly have to experience to understand.

Background
Developed by the Hop Breeding Company and released in 2014, Ekuanot® stands out thanks to its high oil content, tight cone structure, and uniquely polarizing flavor profile. Whether you love it for the punchy tropical fruit or the mysterious green pepper ribbon that runs through it, Ekuanot® is a modern hop that's built for bold flavor expression. It’s ideal as a standalone variety or as a complex layer in a dry hop blend.
