In the order Stoup Brewing lists them: Fall Equinox IPA ABV: 7.90 IBU: 65.00 SRM: 8.00 Categories: Hop Driven, IPA, Northwest, Traditionally Fall We brewed this IPA in honor of the Fall Equinox, that moment that means cool air, falling leaves and snow capped mountains in the distance. This version of our Equinox IPA was dry-hopped with copious amounts of Ekuanot™. The resulting beer leads with subtle floral and spice on the nose. Hi.... From the brewery's page for this beer.

New to hop talk? What these words mean

Bitterness (alpha acid): How much bite a hop gives when it's boiled. Under 5% is gentle, 13%+ is a bruiser. It's why a West Coast IPA snaps and a pilsner doesn't.
Aroma oil: The smelly part of the hop — where the citrus, pine and tropical fruit come from. More oil, more punch when it's added late or dry-hopped.
Myrcene, humulene…: The main oils. Lots of myrcene reads fruity and resinous; humulene and caryophyllene read woody, herbal, spicy.
Aroma / bittering / dual purpose: What brewers mostly use the hop for: smell, bite, or both.
Fresh (wet) hop: Hops straight from the field into the beer, same day, never dried. Only at harvest, late August into October.
Cryo, CGX, LupoMax, Incognito: The same hop, processed: concentrated powder or extract, for more aroma with less vegetal taste.
