Isithombe sithwebula umzuzu obalulekile enqubweni yokuphisa, lapho amandla aluhlaza emvelo ehlangabezana nokunemba kobuciko. Maphakathi nesithombe, inqwaba yamakhoni e-Citra hop amasha, aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ehla kahle isuka esitsheni ingene eketelani lensimbi engenasici eligcwele wort eshisayo. Ama-hop, anama-paper bracts nama-cones ahlanganiswe ngokuqinile, abonakala engenasisindo uma enyakaza, alenga emoyeni njengoba ewela oketshezini olusagolide olunyakazayo ngezansi. Lesi sikhathi senguquko, lapho ama-hop aluhlaza ehlangana ne-hot wort, kuphawula isiqalo sohambo lwawo ukusuka ensimini kuya ekunambithekeni, njengoba amafutha abalulekile nama-resin ancibilika ukuze afake ubhiya ngokubaba, iphunga, kanye nezinhlamvu.

Iketela ngokwalo licwebezela ngensimbi epholishiwe, ebonisa ukukhanya okuzungezile kwendlu yokuphuzela utshwala futhi igcizelela indawo yesimanjemanje, yobuchwepheshe yokuphisa izikebhe zesimanje. Ngemuva kwegedlela, elilufifi kodwa ngokusobala, kumile ama-fermenters namathangi amakhudlwana, amafomu awo ayisilinda akhuphuka ngobuhle bezimboni. Lokhu okwasemuva kwempahla yensimbi engagqwali kunikeza umongo: ukwenziwa kotshwala kuwubuciko bakudala kanye nesayensi elawulwa kakhulu, lapho ukunemba nokuvumelana kulinganisaniswa nokudala nesiko. Ukukhanya okufudumele, okusagolide okugeza indawo yesehlakalo kuthambisa isilungiselelo sokusebenza, okungavusi nje kuphela ubuciko bobuchwepheshe kodwa nomuzwa wosiko nokunakekela.

I-Citra hop, inkanyezi yalesi sikhathi, iphakathi kwezinhlobonhlobo ezidume kakhulu ekuphuzweni kwesimanjemanje, ezaziwa ngekhono lazo lokuletha amanothi aqinile wezithelo ezisawolintshi, izithelo zasezindaweni ezishisayo, kanye nezimbali ezicashile. Njengoba zicwila kule wort, umuntu angacishe acabange ngokuphuma kungazelelwe kwezithako zazo ezinephunga elimnandi—i-grapefruit ecwebezelayo, umcako onamanzi, amazwibela e-passionfruit, nomango—zixutshwa noshukela omnandi wemalt owakha isisekelo sikabhiya. Lesi sithombe simema isibukeli ukuba sizibone ngeso lengqondo simi eduze kweketela, simbozwe ifu elishisayo lephunga elimnandi elisawolintshi, umuzwa ozwakalayo ochaza inhliziyo yenqubo yokuphisa.

Ukwakheka kwesithombe kudlulisa kokubili ukunyakaza nokulindela. Ama-hops phakathi nekwindla aphakamisa isikhashana esifushane esiqandiswe ngesikhathi, ngaphambi nje kokuthintana newort. Umbukeli ukhunjuzwa ngesimo sesikhashana sokwenziwa kotshwala—indlela okunemba ngayo isikhathi, ukukhetha ngokucophelela izithako, nezindlela ezihlosiwe konke kuhlangana ukuze kulolonge ubhiya wokugcina. Ukwengezwa ezigabeni ezihlukene zethumba kuthinta umphumela: ukungezwa kwe-hop kwasekuqaleni kubangela ukubaba okuqinile, kuyilapho kamuva kulonda amakha athambile. Lesi sithombe sithwebula elinye lalawo maphuzu abalulekile, isandla sophisi esiqondisa ukudalwa kwe-flavour.

Ngale kokubaluleka kwaso kwezobuchwepheshe, isithombe siphinde sibe nomuzwa wokuhlonipha. Amahops, asanda kuvunwa futhi aluhlaza ngokugqamile, afanekisela izimpande zezolimo zokuphisa, kanti izinto ezicwebezelayo zimelela ubuhlakani bomuntu kanye nokusha. Ndawonye, bakha ukuvumelana phakathi kwemvelo nobuchwepheshe, isiko nenqubekelaphambili. Isigcawu sigqamisa ukuthi ukuphisa kwesimanjemanje kusancika kanjani ezithanjeni nezinqubo zakudala, kodwa kuziphakamisa ngokunemba nothando.

Ekugcineni, lesi sithombe sibungaza okungaphezu nje kwesinyathelo sokuphisa—sithwebula ingqikithi yesiko likabhiya wezandla ngokwawo. Kumayelana nokuhlonipha ubuhle obuluhlaza bamahops, umlingo oguqulayo weketela, nokuzinikela kwabaphisi botshwala abavala igebe phakathi komhlaba nengilazi. Isikhathi esisikhumbuza ukuthi iphinathi ngalinye likabhiya aliphethe nje ukunambitheka, kodwa indaba yokulinywa ngokucophelela, ubuciko bamabomu, kanye nenjabulo yendalo.
