Adaptér

Tap to rate

Adaptér is a top-fermented American-style pale ale from Jablonec nad Nisou. Cascade provides the bitterness, Ekuanot the hop aroma, and it is brewed the American way, by infusion. The grist uses pale ale, Carapils, light crystal and wheat malts. The brewery says it has a full body, so it is no watery beer. Recipe by Martin Palouš.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with characteristic Cascade hop bitterness—herbal and resinous—balanced by supporting Ekuanot notes that add floral and citrus undertones. Beneath the hop character lie soft, grainy Malz notes from the pale ale and Carapils foundation, with a subtle wheat contribution that keeps the aroma clean and composed.

◐ Taste

The palate enters full-bodied and satisfying, with the wheat malt contributing a soft, slightly sweet mid-palate that anchors the beer's structure. Cascade bitterness develops steadily without aggression, finishing with a dry, crisp quality; the Ekuanot hop aroma persists on the tongue, bringing citrus and floral notes that complement the malty foundation throughout.
