Description
The first record of the inn and brewery “Zum goldenen Engel” in Crailsheim from 1738 reads “annual production volume 150 buckets.” In 1877 George Fachs becomes the new owner of the brewery. The Fachs family still owns - now in the fifth generation - the brewery. In 1984 Engel becomes the first German brewery to bottle Radler. Since the turn of the millennium, Engel-Biermanufaktur has developed into a specialty brewery that regularly receives awards for its beers.

From tap. Golden, hazy body, with a creamy, white head.
Aroma of grains, cereals, flowers, grass, some citrus. Tastes quite similar, with more bread and honey. Medium mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation. Finishes cerealic, grainy a bit floral, with some cardboard.
Pretty average, not very characterful, but quaffable enough.
