Pours a slightly cloudy straw yellow color with a thin white head. The head dissipates quickly leaving behind a swirl of thin foam resting on top. No lacing.
The aroma is refreshing and spicy. Yeast and wheat with citrus, banana, and spice.
The taste starts with a sweet malt and quickly works into a nice blend of wheat and yeast. A spiced banana bread with some lemon and orange citrus flavors follow with a nice wheat and coriander spice lingering in the aftertaste.
Light body with light to medium carbonation. A slightly oily mouthfeel with a dryness on the palate.
Overall, a very nice summer beer from Two Brothers! Very drinkable with nice rich flavors that would be prefect to enjoy on a hot day! Well balanced and refreshing with a very nice aroma to boot! Try one!

Beer Notes
Monarch White is our anniversary ale brewed once a year in a
small batch. It is brewed with unmalted wheat and a touch of oats
for a light body and crisp, refreshing finish. It is then spiced with
coriander and orange peel giving this Belgian-style White Beer it's
traditional citrus aroma and flavor.
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." - Cliff Clavin, of Cheers
