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.

Great lively beer, full bodied, but not sweet, crisp and full flavoured. Great example of the style. Graeff Hamburg

After more than 3000 ratings my first one with schraubverschluss. Aroma is nothing much slight melasses and coffee ground. Taste is bitter coffee ground and guinness with some sweet caramel base. Complex sugars. A bit on the sweet spectrum but no obvious flaws.

Not on vid, but based on checklist. Beer not with beer bottle cap... I count that as a minus. Smell- weak, maybe hops, Foam- thin, bit to medium soft and large in mouth with some bitter notes for sure. Head is medium, white color. Appearance-hazy, yellow, orange color, carbonation is medium, quite even. Taste- bitter notes, yeast, some citrus, and if aftertaste some hops, some of that pulling bitter notes. Not bad, but might not be exactly my type.

Hoppy, bit soapy and grainy aroma. Hoppy, flowery flavor. Long hoppy, herbal finish. Not bad, but kind of average. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Mai Bock on 26 Aug 2019 at 12:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6. Original review text: Bottle. Golden color. Malty soft floral grassy aroma. Malty sweetish, bready, grassy flavor. Hint of peach. Soft floral notes. Drinkable. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Frühlingsbock on 26 Aug 2019 at 12:07 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6. Original review text: Honey color, frothy head. Cookie dough and some hops in the aroma. Sweet, alcoholic flavor with honey, butterscotch and (in the background) some hops. More hops in the aftertaste. As Dortmunder, who provided the bottle, said: a bit boring and onedimensional, but quite drinkable.

Plum and ckae dough aroma. Medium bodied. Bitter flavor, maybe a bit buttery. Plum and apple fruit. Clean palate. Just a bit of hops in the nutty bitter aftertaste. Fairly rich märzenbier. Just around the average, but still a decent brew.
