Isithombe: I-Topaz Hops ngezitayela ze-IPA

Isithombe sivela njengokugubha ama-hops nohambo lwawo lokuguqula kusuka ku-bine kuya engilazini, itafula elihlanganiswe ngokucophelela elihlanganisa ukunethezeka kwezolimo ngobuciko bokwenza utshwala. Ngaphambili, izinkomishi ezine eziqinile ezigcwele ama-IPA ezimpawu ezehlukene ziklelisa indawo yokhuni. Ubhiya ngamunye unobunikazi bawo: owodwa ucwebezela ngokucwebezela kwegolide, okuphuma emakhazeni futhi kucace njengekristalu, i-carbonation yawo ikhuphuka kancane ngaphansi kwekhanda eliqinile, elinomcamelo wegwebu; omunye ugqoke umbala we-amber ojulile, ocishe ube yithusi, okusikisela ubunkimbinkimbi be-malt obuhlangene nokubaba okugomelayo kwama-hops; eyesithathu ikhipha inkungu yejusi engahlungiwe, umqhele wayo okhilimu othembisa i-symphony ye-flavour eshisayo ne-citrus; kuyilapho okokugcina, i-IPA elula kancane kodwa efiphele ngokulinganayo, ebonakala ijabulela ukuguqubala kwayo, ehlanganisa okuthandwayo kwesimanje kophuzo olugcwele umzimba, olugcwele i-hop-saturated. Lezi zinkomishi, nezibambo zazo eziqinile nengilazi ewugqinsi, azizona nje izitsha kodwa ziwuphawu lokubonisa ukuphila, ngayinye imema isibukeli ukuba siphakamise, siphuze, futhi sinambithe ubuciko obungaphakathi.

Ngenhla nje nangemuva kobhiya, ikhethini lama-hop bine liyageleza libonakale, amaqabunga awo ebanzi futhi anemithambo, izigaxa zawo zigcwele futhi ziluhlaza. Izigaxa zilenga njengezibani, zihlangene ngobuningi, ama-paper bracts awo abamba ukukhanya okusagolide okuthambile okubonakala kuwubusuku basekupheleni kwehlobo. Ikhoni ye-hop ngayinye ixoxa indaba yayo, ukulandisa kwe-lupulin ene-resinous efihliwe ngaphakathi, egcwele amafutha abalulekile azochaza wona kanye amakha nama-flavour kabhiya ngezansi. Lokhu kuhlanganiswa kwesithako esiluhlaza kanye nomkhiqizo oqediwe kugcizelela isibopho esingenakuhlukaniswa phakathi kwenkundla nesitolo sotshwala, isikhumbuzo esibonakalayo sokuthi ngaphandle kwalawa ma-hops—aphilayo, anephunga elimnandi, futhi ayinkimbinkimbi—angeke ibe khona i-IPA. Indlela ukukhanya okuhluza ngayo uhlaza ingeza ukujula nokufudumala, njengokungathi imvelo ngokwayo incike ekubungazeni indima yayo kule nqubo.

Buqamama, indawo ifinyelela emagqumeni athambile athambe ngokukhazimula kwehora legolide. Umkhathizwe uthambile, ugqanyiswe yizihlahla ezincibilika zibe ngumnyama welanga. Isibhakabhaka esingenhla sipendwe ngamathoni epentshisi nenhlaka, enanela yona kanye imibala etholakala ezingilazini ezingezansi, ehlanganisa umhlaba wemvelo nobuciko bomuntu obukhuthazayo. Ingemuva elilufifi linikeza ukuzola, kodwa futhi libeka indawo yesehlakalo endaweni yangempela—mhlawumbe indawo yokulima i-hop lapho umjikelezo wokutshala, ukuvuna, nokuphisa uyisigqi esidala njengezwe ngokwalo. Amagquma anikeza umuzwa wokungaphelelwa yisikhathi, njengokungathi izizukulwane zabaphisi botshwala nabalimi ziye zama emasimini afanayo, zimangazwa isimangaliso soshintsho esishintsha izigaxa eziluhlaza zibe igolide eliwuketshezi.

Ukwakheka kulinganisa ukuchichima nokusondelana. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, umbukeli unikezwa amandla aluhlaza emvelo, ama-hops ahlangene ngesikhathi sawo sokuqala, acebile ngamandla. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kunokwaneliseka ngokushesha, okuthintekayo kukabhiya otheliwe futhi olungele ukuphuzwa, ingilazi ngayinye imelela incazelo ehlukile yombono womdidiyeli. Ama-IPA awami nje njengezitayela zomuntu ngamunye kodwa njengobufakazi obuhlangene bokuhlukahluka kwe-Topaz hops, i-flavour spectrum yayo isukela kuphayini onenhlaka nezinongo zomhlaba ukuya esithelweni esiqhakazile sasezindaweni ezishisayo kanye ne-zesty citrus. Ukuhlukahluka kohlu kukhombisa ukuthi le hop ingazisiza kanjani izindlela eziningi: ecwebezelayo futhi ebabayo nge-IPA yakudala yase-West Coast, enamanzi futhi enephunga elimnandi ngendlela ehlukile ye-New England, noma eyinkimbinkimbi futhi elinganiselayo kokuthile okune-amber-hued kanye ne-malt-forward.

Okuvela emfanekisweni ukulandisa kokuzwana, lapho kuhlangana khona ezolimo, ubuciko, namasiko. Ama-hops angenhla awazona nje izakhi zokuhlobisa-angabagadi nabanikezeli, abanikeza izipho zabo kumakomishi angezansi. Obhiya bona bangamanxusa emvelaphi yabo, abathwele inkumbulo yamasimu akhanya ilanga, ukulinywa ngokucophelela, kanye nesandla somshini wokuphisa utshwala. Ndawonye, ama-elementi akha umbono we-IPA hhayi njengobhiya owodwa kodwa njenge-spectrum, ulimi lokunambitheka okukhulunywa ngezilimi zesigodi ezingenakubalwa kodwa oluhlanganiswe isilulumagama esabiwe sama-hops. Umkhathi uyagubha kodwa awubukisi, uyamema kodwa awujahile, okuphakamisa ukuthi indlela engcono kakhulu yokuhlonipha lokhu kwehluka iwukuba ume kancane, uphuze ujule, futhi uthokozele uhambo olusuka kubhine uye engilazini.
