This juicy hop was born and bred at CLS Farms in Moxee (a sub-region of the Yakima Valley). Bursting with juicy pineapple and tropical notes, this dual-purpose hop has been featured in many great beers since its release in 2010. Big Alpha Acids (13-17%) make this an effective and efficient bittering hop, but can be used in late additions to maximize the fresh, fruity aroma and flavor. El Dorado® is an exceptional new dual-purpose hop with both high Alpha Acid and intense flavors and aromas. As a bittering hop, El Dorado® lends a firm but balanced bitterness. When used in later additions, El Dorado® brings bright tropical fruit flavors and aromas of pineapple, pear, watermelon, and stone fruit.

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.

All hop pellet products are packaged in light blocking foil bags with with an effective oxygen barrier. Air is withdrawn from the packaging prior to being nitrogen flushed and then hermetically sealed. This leave the hop pets free to move within the packaging but with out damage due to the pillow pack effect. Each batch is tested for oxygen content ensuring our process is effective. Each pack has a zip lock for end user convenience.
