About

Ekuanot (formerly HBC 366) was commercially released in 2014 as 'Equinox' by the Hops Breeding Company in Yakima, and subsequently renamed due to trademark issues. It has intense and unique fruity and citrus notes including melon, berry, citruslime, apple and papaya. Ekuanot also contains some spicy, green pepper note. This hop brand has high alpha acids content and high essential oil and is known for its vibrant yellow color during its early growth in the spring. Note Formerly HBC 366 and Equinox

Origin

Ekuanot was developed by Eugene G. Probasco and Jason Perrault of the Hop Breeding Company (U.S. Patent PP25899). A cross was made in 2001 between the patented variety Warrior and a non-patented wild male found on a commercial plot.
