Handsome dark amber brew with long-lasting foam in the tumbler. Pleasant sudsy mouthfeel, and a little sharp on the tongue. Nose of the wheaty clove ester but rather mild. A good deal less sweet and a little more bitter than usual for the Dunkelweizen style, which is not a bad combination. Really very pleasant, though, and quite quaffable. From a beer by the case store in Rhaunen, Germany.

It has been a nice addition to the coolers of South Korea convenience stores. However, it lacks a true flavor punch. It's definitely a mediocre, but passable drink. It doesn't have much of the banana taste of a Dunkelweizen, but rather more of the roasty, malty flavor. It definitely hits the spot when you really want something a little darker, but not too bold.

appearance: Lighter brown nice nothing special I think
smell: Hints of fruit nothing special, nothing that stands out as a matter of fact kind of strange for this type from Germany
taste: Somewhat bland nothing really stands out. I mean its not good or bad just bland malt flavor
mouthfeel: Has a bit of back bone but not something to write home about probable this beer's best trait.
overall: I wouldn't waste the money if I didn't have to, i have spent just as much on much better beer

This was a gift bottle brought back from Germany be a colleague.
Has a dark iced tea color to the body. A 2 finger head with rather rapid disappearance.
Has a very pleasant smell of banana and clove.
Taste - Very mild flavor profile. Sweet malt body and smooth finish. Some caramel flavoring and also some graininess presence.
Mouthfeel - very smooth and full bodied for a lighter ABV brew.
Overall - I think this is a fine and sessionable beer from Germany. Not world class, but its an decent flavored easy drinker. If offered its a reliable beer to not turn down.
