Style of Beer: Kölsch-Style Ale
I am from: Framingham, Massachusetts, USA (Crafted by Exhibit 'A' Brewing Company)
The Story: Based in Framingham, Massachusetts, Exhibit 'A' has a knack for brewing beers that tell a specific story without being overly complicated. Goody Two Shoes is their tribute to the crisp, clean, and highly sessionable ales of Cologne, Germany. To craft this celebrated Kölsch-style ale, the brewing team committed to an authentic, old-world approach, utilizing premium Pilsner malt and classic Noble hops, followed by a meticulous cold-conditioning process (lagering). The result is a brilliantly executed, unpretentious beer that completely rejects the modern craft beer arms race of extreme flavors, proving that sometimes, doing the simple things perfectly is the ultimate flex.
Why You'll Love Me: It is the quintessential, perfectly executed crisp ale that bridges the gap between a light lager and a flavorful craft brew. It pours a brilliantly clear, radiant pale golden-yellow in the glass beneath a bright, frothy white head. The nose is exceptionally clean and inviting, wafting a classic bouquet of fresh-baked crackers, light honey, and a delicate, floral whisper of lemon zest. On the palate, it delivers a masterful balance of a light, biscuity malt backbone and a gentle, quenching crispness. Highly carbonated and incredibly smooth at a highly approachable 4.5% ABV, it coasts into a snappy, impeccably dry finish that leaves you perfectly refreshed and reaching for another.
