Ubhiya ngokwawo ucwebezela nge-golden-amber hue, ekhazimulayo futhi efudumele ngaphansi kokukhanya okuthambile kwesilungiselelo se-taproom. Amabhamuza aphuphumayo akhuphuka kancane oketshezini, abambe futhi abonise ukukhanya, okuthuthukisa ukucaca kanye nempilo kabhiya. Amathoni enhlaka ashintshashintsha kancane phakathi kwegolide noju olujulile, okuphakamisa kokubili ukuqabuleka nokujula kokunambitheka.

Ama-bracts ayo angamaphepha enziwa ngendlela enembile kangangokuthi umbukeli angacishe ezwe ukoma kwawo kanye nekhwalithi ekhipha inhlaka. Lokhu kuhlanganisa—ubusha be-hop ngokumelene nobhiya ocebile, onegwebu—ngokubukeka kuqinisa ukuhlobana okuseduze phakathi kwesithako nomkhiqizo osuphelile, kugqamisa ubuciko bokwenza utshwala.

Ngemuva, okufiphele kancane ngokujula, isiphakamiso se-hop bine, enamakhoni ambalwa angeziwe alenga eziqwini ezinamaqabunga. Lesi sici somongo sisebenza njengesikhumbuzo esicashile semvelaphi yezolimo yotshwala. Amahophu angemuva awagxilile, okuqinisekisa ukuthi ukugcizelela okuyinhloko kuhlala kuyingilazi kanye nekhoni elintantayo ngaphambili. Nokho, ukuba khona kwawo kujulisa ukulandisa, kuhlanganisa umkhiqizo wokugcina ekutshalweni kwama-hops ensimini.
