Image: Fresh Chinook Hops

A close-up shot of freshly harvested Chinook hops cones, their vibrant green color accentuated by warm, soft lighting. The hops cones are shown in the foreground, their delicate, papery structures and glistening lupulin glands clearly visible. In the middle ground, a handful of hop cones are being gently rubbed between the palms, releasing their aromatic essential oils. The background is blurred, creating a sense of focus and emphasis on the hops themselves. The overall mood is one of reverence and appreciation for this essential brewing ingredient, its texture and aroma palpable through the lens.
