Yakima Chief Ekuanot T90 Hop Pellets
Ekuanot® hop pellets are a high-impact aroma hop with an exceptionally vivid and fruit-forward character that consistently delivers in the brewing kettle and the dry hop tank alike. Developed by the Hop Breeding Company and grown in the Yakima Valley, Ekuanot® has become a go-to for brewers building juicy, fruit-driven beers with serious aromatic intensity.
What defines Ekuanot® is its striking combination of fresh berry, watermelon, and lime, underpinned by lemon citrus and a clean herbal note that keeps the profile bright and lively. Its extraordinarily high essential oil content makes it one of the most aromatic hop varieties available — meaning even modest additions leave a strong impression. Ekuanot® performs beautifully in whirlpool and dry hop applications, where its full fruit spectrum can express itself without heat-related loss.
Beyond its aroma qualities, Ekuanot® carries a respectable alpha acid content that also makes it a capable bittering hop, giving brewers a genuine dual-purpose option without compromise.
