Hop Polysianka

A Reliable Choice for Classic Lagers

Developed by the Polissya Institute of Agriculture, the «Polisyanka» hop variety has established itself as a benchmark for brewers focused on traditional lager production. Its key competitive advantage is its exceptional winter hardiness (down to -35°C), making it virtually immune to harsh continental winters and an ideal choice for growers looking for durability and consistency.

Aroma Profile and Brewing Application

Unlike high-alpha acid varieties that dominate with aggressive bitterness, «Polisyanka» is an aromatic hop. With an alpha acid content of 3.5–4.5%, it imparts a soft, clean, and classic aroma essential for light lagers. The light-green cones are medium-sized, ensuring ease of harvesting and processing, while its vegetation period of 115–135 days fits perfectly into the standard agricultural cycle.

Agronomic Resilience

Disease management is often the greatest challenge for hop farmers. «Polisyanka» offers distinct advantages in this regard:

• High resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications.
• Natural resilience to spider mites and aphids simplifies crop maintenance, allowing for fewer insecticide treatments compared to more sensitive imported varieties.

Who is this hop for? This variety is designed for farms and craft breweries that value predictability. With a yield of 1.2–1.8 t/ha, it provides stable production numbers, lowering the financial risks associated with harvest fluctuations. If you are looking for a reliable, time-tested variety that minimizes the risk of crop loss due to weather or pests, «Polisyanka» is a robust solution for your brewing needs.
