Enhliziyweni yendawo yokuphisa utshwala, umoya ugcwele iphunga elimnandi le-Chinook hops—ama-cone aluhlaza abambelele emathanjeni awo endaweni evundile echithekela emishayweni efana ne-chandelier yemvelo. Ukuba khona kwazo kungaphezu kokuhlobisa; isimemezelo senhloso, isithembiso sokunambitheka okugqamile kanye nephunga elimnandi elizoshuthwa maduzane libe sesimweni esiwuketshezi. Ukukhanya kwelanga kuhlunga ngamafasitela amadala, kusakaza amaphethini aminyene ezindongeni zezitini eziqoshiwe kanye nemishayo yokhuni eqinile efaka uhlaka lwesikhala ngomqondo wobuciko obungapheli. Igumbi liyavungama ngamandla athule, indawo engcwele lapho isiko nokuqamba okusha kuhlangana khona kuphishekela ukuphuzwa kotshwala okuhle.

Enkabeni yalesi sikhala esifudumele, esihehayo kunamaketela okuphisa ngethusi—imikhumbi ecwebezelayo, eguge isikhathi eye yabona inqwaba yenqwaba idlula emakamelweni ayo. Iketela elilodwa likhipha isitimu esiqinile, okuwumphumela wokusanhlamvu okucwila ku-mash tun, kukhiphe ushukela nezinongo ezizoba umgogodla wotshwala. Ithusi likhanya ngaphansi kokukhanya kwesibani esilengayo sembonini esilenga phezulu, umbala walo osagolide unikeza intelezi engathandeki endaweni yesehlakalo. Isibani ngokwaso siyinsalela yesinye inkathi, ukwakheka kwaso kunanela imizwa yezwe lakudala eligcwele igumbi. Isakaza ukukhanya okuthambile, oku-amber okudansa ezindaweni ezingaphezulu, kugqamisa ukusebenzisana kwensimbi, ukhuni, nesitini ku-symphony yendlela yokwenza.

Umugqa womjikelezo amathangi okuvutshelwa ensimbi engenasici, made futhi ayababazeka, nokho amahle ekwakhiweni kwawo okuwusizo. Izindawo zabo ezipholishiwe zibonisa ukukhanya okuzungezile, kuyilapho uxhaxha oluyinkimbinkimbi lwamapayipi, ama-valve, nezikali zikhuluma ngokunemba okudingekayo ekukhiqizeni utshwala besimanje. Ukudayela ngakunye kuxoxa indaba yokulawulwa kwezinga lokushisa, ukulawulwa kwengcindezi, nokulinganisela kwamagciwane—i-ballet engabonakali yesayensi eshintsha i-wort ibe ubhiya. Lawa mathangi angabaphathi abathule bokuvubela, lapho imvubelo isebenza khona umlingo wayo, iguqula ushukela ibe utshwala futhi ifaka isiphuzo ngezinhlamvu nokujula.

Umkhathi ungowokuhlonipha nenjongo. Zonke izinto ezisegumbini—kusukela kuma-hops kuye kumaketela, kusukela emishayweni kuya emathangini—zinikela ekulandiseni kokuzinikela kobuciko. Yindawo lapho ukuphisa akuyona nje inqubo kodwa kuwumkhuba, ocwile emlandweni futhi ophakanyiswe uthando. Ama-Chinook hop, anephrofayili yawo yephunga eligqamile ne-flavour, ayizinkanyezi zalokhu kusebenza okuthile, abolekisa ngamanothi awo esiginesha kaphayini, izinongo, ne-grapefruit kulokho okuthembisa ukuba yi-IPA evelele. Njengoba isitimu sikhuphuka futhi kukhanya ukukhanya, indawo yokuphisa utshwala iba iseyili ephilayo, ithwebula ingqikithi yesiko likabhiya wobuciko ngayo yonke imininingwane.
