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.

(bottle with that ugly screw cap) Clear golden colour with a foamy white medium head. Herbal and slightly grassy hop aroma with a honey-ish but also papery note. Medium bodied, crispy mouthfeel, slightly bitter flavour. Balanced hops-malts ratio, slightly herbal hoppy finish. Okay-ish.

(bottle) Lightly hazy straw coloured with a vanishing foamy white head. Sweet malty aroma with honey. Sweet malty taste, yeasty with a fruity tinge, unharmonic yeasty bitterness in the finish.

(bottle) Clear and dark ruby colour with a steady foamy off-white medium head. Dense light-sweet malty aroma with caramel. Moderately sweet malty flavour and taste, slightly roasted with notes of caramel and dried fruits, well-balanced bitterness in the lasting finish. Engelbräu, Crailsheim is definitely not my favourite brewery, but they are good in doing Bocks.

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy orangey golden with a small head. Huge yeast sediment. Vaguely malty nose. Sweetish malty - and nothing much more. No greater bitterness. Not bad, just lacks some character. 031205

Bottle: Golden coloured, big fluffy white head; sweetish grainy nose with a tinge of honey; mainly sweetish flavour; light bodied to watery; sweetish finish with a faint bitterness and a kind of "medical" aftertaste. Not really bad, but rather monotonous..............

Bottle: Amber coloured, big sized, off-white head, quite stable and lacing; distinctive malty nose with some traces of caramel and honey; sweetish bitter flavour, quite smooth; longer lasting, bitter and sweetmalty finish. Quite O.K...........

Clean dark amber color. Caramel aroma and strong caramel taste, with some residual sweetness and too high alcohol perception. Only at the end it’s more bitter. Ordinary.
