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 tap. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma è destinato a vita breve. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido è di apparenza velata. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è non invasivo. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Il finale è dissetante. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sulla lingua si attestano indizi di zuccherino, miele, frutta secca, erba, agrumi e mela.
