Glossy is our “house” 6.5% IPA built around the most popular hop on the planet, Citra,. We’re constantly tweaking this beer to try to find the combo that really brings out the best parts of Citra. This latest batch explores a hop called Ekuanot. Ekuanot has been around for a while and was originally very popular as it’s incredibly high in oil and is known for delivering a lot of intense fruit character, especially apricot when used in the whirlpool. However along with that bright fruit came a lot of woody/shrubby character. Since then farmers have learned more about the hop and how to grow it and when to pick it. We recently found this incredibly interesting lot of it that has a shocking amount of melon/stone fruit but has almost none of the shrubby/woody character. We decided to pile a bunch of it in the whirlpool for this batch and paired it with nothing but some awesome Citra in the Dry Hop. This lot of Citra is grown by our great friend Diane Gooding of Gooding Farms, from outside of Boise. It has some beautiful bright Citrus, lychee, and floral notes.
