Postmortem Brew Review

Clear yellow color.
Wheat aroma with whiffs of banana and clove.

White, foamy three to four fingered head that lasts and lasts.

The lacing coats entire glass start to finish.
Off beat wheat taste with more banana flavor as it warms.
Moderate carbonation.
Light bodied; refreshing when served cold. 

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!

Grim Reaper's Eulogy
A very solid hefeweizen with very enjoyable refreshment. Different from other beers in more ways than one. The citrus and wheat infuses your taste buds, leaving their mark of distinction. "Kristall" as in crystal clear, this one is not a cloudy as others witbeers you may have sampled in the past. There are a couple of medals displayed on this brew's label. And it's been around since 1672, so they must have it down to perfection.

I'd recommend you to pick this one up when you're looking for something different. Also recommended: Pick up a German/English dictionary if you visit the website.
