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.

On the dark side of brown, quite dark for the style but with a good amount of reddish hints if seen through light. Average head, slightly off-white, looks quite creamy; shows good enough retention and lacing. Moderate to average intensity in a clean but very simple aroma, with a clear main focus on caramel maltiness, plus honey and very light hints of roasted malts; all among a general soft feel. Taste notes follow the aroma closely: again, moderate to average intensity, clean flavour profile, very little depth. A bit too much sweetness in the overall balance, in both taste and aftertaste, though the finish/aftertaste still doesn't feel sticky. Quite light in body with low to medium carbonation; a hint of silkness, definitely an easily drinkable beer. Overall: a sweet, quite anonymous interpretation of the style; still very much drinkable.

Cloudy yellow with a fluffy head. Lots of honey and again honey, straw, hay, grain, stone fruit, slightly citrusy. Honey sweetness, slighty bitter. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft to lively carbonated, dry honey sweet bitter finish. Overall not bad, rather interesting honey aroma in that beer.

Flaska från Bierothek. Disig ljusgul vätska med medelhögt skum. Jästig och brödig och söt med honung och en lite kryddig alkoholton som kanske inte passar riktigt. Trevlig

Flaska från Bierothek. Bärnstensfärgad vätska med medelhögt fluffigt skum. Stor kropp, söt, harmonisk och inte alls spritig. Brödiga smaker, fruktig sötma, lätt kryddig beska. En riktigt bra bock som värmer och lite kylig svensk sommardag vid grillen.

Flaska från Bierothek. Ljusgul aningen disig vätska med medelhögt vitt skum. Krispig och lätt på gränsen till tunn kropp. Hemlig gräsig med hö, örter och gräs främst. Trevlig
