Adaptation Sabro Dry-Hopped Kölsch

Brewed in scenic Gravenhurst, Ontario at Sawdust City Brewing Co., Adaptation Sabro Dry-Hopped Kölsch is a 5.5%, 20 IBU beer that also contains Magnum and Spalt hops. The beer, sold in 473mL cans, pours a hazy golden colour with a sudsy shock of white foam.

Adaptation a sweet and engaging aroma, backed with a tickle of floral hops. The beer has a smooth texture and an interesting flavour. It’s sweet, initially, progressing to an earthy, botanical finish. The dry-hopping adds a richness, but, it should be said, might impact the potential crispness of the underlying Kölsch-style brew.

I thought Sawdust City’s Adaptation was an enjoyable little beer with a quirky flavour and texture mix. I enjoyed my cans and I’d gladly buy it again.
