The Ekuanot hop was developed by the Hop Breeding Company and first released in 2014 as HBC 366
Ekuanot is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping.
Ekuanot has fruity aromatics such as lemon, lime, pithy orange, tropical fruit, berry, papaya, and sometimes apple. Along with these there may be more herbal notes, such as sage and eucalyptus.

Some hops just taste better together. We recently analyzed [ 1 ] hundreds of the most popular beers to find which hops are commonly paired together. We found that Mosaic , Simcoe , Citra , Azacca , Sabro , Calypso & Cascade hops are commonly used alongside the Ekuanot hop. This is not a complete list, but should give you a good idea of what hops are commonly used together.
Ekuanot is also sometimes featured as a single hop in beers to highlight its unique flavors and aromas. It can be added either as a fresh hop, or via hop pellets. Some popular examples of commercial beers that use 100% Ekuanot hops in their recipes are Lagunitas Equinox Pale Ale .
