Commercial Description:
Brothers' Cup is the first Modern Monks beer produced at the Chicken Coop in Grand Island, NE. The Cup is a hoppy blonde ale, brewed with 4 different malts and 4 different hops. The yeast is a strain that originated from a Belgian monastery. Cheers!

Delayed entry from Tasting at Holiday Beerfest in Omaha: Cloudy golden pour. Aroma somewhat weak, yet sweet and dominated by bready yeasts. Flavor is pretty sweet up front with some citrusy accents, and takes a U-turn about half way through and gets bitter with a slight hop aftertaste. Pretty good mouthfeel on this one as well. This one took me on a nice little ride and was quite enjoyable!

On tap at the 2007 Crescent Moon Holiday Beer Tasting. Thanks for bringing your beer, mdi. Pours an opaque straw-colored gold with a medium white head producing beautiful lacing. This has a very yeasty aroma. The mouthfeel is big and thick. I discern some lemon flavors, but then something interesting happens: a big roasted bite emerges. I’ve never had this taste in a belgian blonde before. Quite good.

From a growler at home. Slight lemon and spice aroma...crisp and fresh. White frothy head with great lacing. Golden and somewhat hazy. Dry and hoppy with a lingering bitterness...a little spicy. Creamy and buttery mouthfeel.
