is a hop with a fairly obscure background. It is named after the city of Lublin, the center of Poland’s major hop growing region. See poland. In trade statistics it is also called Lubliner, Lubelska, or Lubelski-Pulawy. Pulawy is the town where the Polish Hop Research Institute is located. Lublin’s agronomic and flavor characteristics are very similar to those of the Czech hop Saazer. See saaz (hop). Like Saazer, Lublin matures early, has moderately low yields (average 1,000 to 1,300 kg/ha [890 to 1,160 lb per acre]), and low alpha acids levels, but a very pleasant aroma. Alpha acids range from 3% to 5% and beta acids from 4% to 5%, and cohumulone averages about 23%. The essential oils are composed of 40% to 50% myrcene, 20% to 25% humulene, 6% caryophyllene, and 12% farnesene.
