This thread got me thinking....... Modus is one of my favorite beers, and it's made in my hometown, so why haven't I made a clone yet? I just might have to remedy that this week. I read the links below, and did a little searching for more info on the intarwebs. After plugging my findings into beersmith I came up with something that should be really close.
