Equinox (Ekuanot)

US · AA 13–15.5%

Lime-zest and tropical fruit, with green-pepper edge.

Description

Released by HBC in 2014 as HBC 366 / Equinox, later renamed Ekuanot. Lime, papaya, and a distinct green-pepper-herbal note. Plays well as a late-boil and whirlpool hop in pale ales and IPAs. Cryo Ekuanot turbo-charges the citrus-tropical character without the herbal edge.
