Ukuqamba ngokushesha kudonsela iso lesibukeli kukhoni ye-hop emaphakathi, emi iqonde futhi ebusa ngaphambili. Amazenga ayo—noma ama-bracts—anqwabelana ngezingqimba ezihlanzekile, ezithandelayo, ngayinye inokukhanya okuthambile njengoba ukukhanya kudlula ezicutshini zayo eziluhlaza. Amathoni aluhlaza wama-hops asukela kokujulile, okuluhlaza okotshani eduze nesisekelo sekhoni kuye kokulula kancane, kunemibala ecishe ibe phuzi-luhlaza emaphethelweni lapho ukukhanya kushaya khona. Lokhu kuhlukahluka ekuthungeni kugcizelela ukuthungwa okucebile nokwakheka kwama-hops, kugqamisa isimo esiyinkimbinkimbi sesitshalo.

Maduze nesihloko esiyinhloko, amanye ama-cones ahlakazekile endaweni yokhuni, amanye afiphazwe ukujula kwensimu engajulile. Lokhu kugxila okukhethekile kuthuthukisa ukuba ngokoqobo kwemvelo kwesithombe, kudonsela ukunaka emininingwaneni emincane yamakhoni amaphakathi kuyilapho kunikeza umongo ekuchichimeni kwawo. Ukufiphala okuncane kwamakhoni angemuva kunikeza umuzwa wokujula nobukhulu, okwenza amahops azizwe ecishe ebambeke, njengokungathi umuntu angakwazi ukwelula isandla awacoshe.

Ukhuni olungaphansi kwama-hops lufudumele ngethoni, lunamaphethini okusanhlamvu abonakalayo kanye nokungapheleli kwemvelo okunomthelela ku-rustic, umkhathi wobuciko. Ukumataniswa kokhuni olunsundu olunomhlaba kanye nohlaza olugqamile lwe-hops kudala ukuvumelana okubonakalayo okujabulisayo, kunanela imvelaphi yezolimo neyobuciko yokuphisa. Izithunzi ezicashile zinwebeka kancane endaweni engaphezulu, zigxilisa ukwakheka kuyilapho ziqinisa ukufudumala kokukhanya.

Ama-hop ngokwawo abukeka egcwele, enanhlaka, futhi egcwele amafutha abalulekile—izimfanelo abaphisi botshwala abaziqhakambisayo ngenxa yekhono labo lokunikeza ubhiya ubumuncu nephunga elimnandi. Ama-cones abonakala esanda kukhiwa, ama-bract awo eqinile, engenasici, futhi egcwele ubungqabavu. Lokhu buningi obubonakalayo nobusha buphakamisa ukulindela kwendima yabo enqubweni yokuphisa: ukuguqula i-wort elula ibe i-Bière de Garde eyinkimbinkimbi futhi enambitheka, noma iyiphi i-ale ethembele kuma-hops ukuze ibhalansise kanye nesimilo sayo.

Okushuthwa isithombe, ngale kwenyama yama-hop cones, umuzwa wesiko nobuciko. Sekuyisikhathi eside ama-hops ewuphawu lokuphisa, emelela izimpande zezolimo zalo mkhuba kanye nobuciko bokuguqula izinto ezingavuthiwe zibe isiphuzo esiphelile. Isimo sokhuni se-rustic siqinisa lokhu kuxhumana nefa kanye nemikhuba ehlonishwa isikhathi. Ukukhanya okuthambile kusikisela ekuseni kakhulu noma ntambama, izikhathi lapho abalimi nabaphisi botshwala bevame ukusebenza eduze kakhulu nezigqi zemvelo.

Sekukonke, isigcawu sivusa ukwazisa okuthintekayo kwe-hop cone ethobekile. I-bract ngayinye ichazwa ngokucacile lapho ukukhanya kuthinta khona, kuveza isakhiwo esinezingqimba esivikela izindlala ze-lupulin ngaphakathi. Ukwakheka, nokugxila kwawo ngokucophelela, amathoni afudumele, nokulinganisela phakathi kwemininingwane nokufiphala, akubambi nje kuphela ubuhle bomzimba bama-hops kodwa nesisindo esingokomfanekiso anaso esikweni lokuphisa. Kuyisithombe esihlanganisa ubulula nokunotha, isayensi enobuciko, kanye nezolimo ezingavuthiwe nesithembiso sokunambitheka okucolisisiwe.
