Grim Reaper's Eulogy
Another offering from the "World's Oldest Brewery."  This crystal clear wheat or kristall weissbier is just the thing for a 93 degree day.  But don't let it get warm.  The flavors open up and though they aren't distracting, the beer tastes best when chilly.  It will not weigh you down in the least.

Nearly as good as its big brother the hefe, Kristall Weissbier is perfect for warm days lazing by the pool.  I know from experience!
