Kulesi sithombe, i-hop cone ibonakala icishe ikhanye, ifakwe ukukhanya kwemvelo okufudumele, okusagolide okuhluza kuma-bract ayo anengqimba futhi kugqamise i-geometry eyinkimbinkimbi yesimo sayo. Izikali ezipakishwe ngokuqinile, ezinqwabelane njengezimpaphe zenyoni noma amathayela ophahla lwasendulo, zakha iphethini ejabulisayo ekhuluma ngokuhleleka nokukhula kwemvelo. I-bract ngayinye inokukhanya okucashile, okubhekisela ezindlaleni ezincane ze-lupulin ezingaphakathi, lapho kuhlala khona amafutha abalulekile nama-resin—zona kanye lezo zinhlanganisela ezichaza ukubaba, iphunga, nephunga likabhiya.

Ukujula kwenkambu okungajulile kulola ikhoni phakathi nendawo yohlaka, okuvumela yonke imiphetho ethambile ukuthi igqame ngokukhululeka okucijile, kuyilapho ingemuva lincibilika libe ukufiphala okuthambile kokuluhlaza. Lokhu kuhlukaniswa okubonakalayo kwenza ophathwayo azizwe eshesha futhi ephila, njengokungathi umbukeli angakwazi ukufinyelela futhi axube iminwe yakhe emacembeni antekenteke e-hop. Ingemuva elilufifi, elihlanganiswe namanye amakhoni ezigabeni ezihlukene zokugxila, lidala umuzwa wokuchichima nokuvunda, okuvusa umqondo weyadi le-hop elichumayo phakathi nokuvuna okuphezulu. Ibhalansi yokugxila nokufiphala inikeza ikhwalithi ependayo, ephakamisa hhayi nje ucwaningo lwesayensi lwesitshalo, kodwa umgubho wobuciko wesimo nomsebenzi waso.

Ama-citra hop aziwa phakathi kwabaphisi botshwala nabathanda ubhiya njengenye yezinhlobonhlobo ze-hop eziveza izinto eziningi futhi eziguquguqukayo, ezikwazi ukukhiqiza izendlalelo zephunga elimnandi elisukela kumcako onamanzi kanye ne-grapefruit kuya ku-passionfruit, umango, kanye ne-lychee. Lesi sithombe, nakuba sithulile, sibonakala sihambisa la phunga phambili, simema isibukeli ukuba sicabange ngenhlaka enamathelayo esezinyathelweni zeminwe yaso ngemva kokuchoboza isigaxa, ukuphuma kungazelelwe kwamafutha ezisawolintshi ashubile emoyeni. Ukukhanya kwangemuva okusagolide kuthuthukisa lokhu kukhohlisa kwezinzwa, njengokungathi isigaxa ngokwaso sikhazimula ngesithembiso sezinambitheka esingasenza lapho sishada ne-malt, yeast, namanzi. Kunomuzwa wamandla anamandla avalelwe ngaphakathi kwesakhiwo sawo, alinde ukuvulwa eketelani lokuphuza utshwala noma ngesikhathi sokugxuma okomile, lapho ama-aromatics ayo angakhanya ngokucace kakhulu.

Isimo sesithombe sisha, sinamandla, futhi siphila ngokujulile, sidlulisela umqondo wokuthi ubhiya omkhulu uqala ngokunensa kwemvelo, okhuliswe emasimini futhi uvunwe ekuphakameni kwamandla awo.

Ayithwebuli nje kuphela izici ezingokomzimba zama-Citra hops kodwa futhi nokuzwakala kwemizwa ababambele abaphisi botshwala nabaphuza ngokufanayo: uphawu lokusha, ukuqamba izinto ezintsha, kanye nekhono lokuqamba elihlala livela lokuphisa.

Lesi sithombe, ekugxileni kwaso okuthulile kanye nokusondelana kwezezitshalo, kusikhumbuza ukuthi ngemuva kwayo yonke iphinathi yobhiya wezandla kukhona indaba yezolimo, isayensi, nobuciko. Ngokusondeza ikhoni eyodwa futhi siyivumele ukuthi ilawule ifremu, isithombe sikhuphula i-hop ethobekile iye endaweni yodumo, kusikhuthaza ukuthi sime kancane futhi sazise ubuhle bayo nobunkimbinkimbi ngaphambi kokuba iguqulwe ibe yizinzwa ezizwakalayo esizijabulela engilazini.
