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.

Fair enough helles. Just a bit to unbalanced sweetness. Probably true to style.
Not to refreshing.

Aroma of grain, banana, citrus notes, yeast, some spicy notes. Flavour is moderate sweet. Nothing special, but drinkable sweetish Hefeweizen.

0,5 boks fra statens utsalg av selvpleieprodukter, hjemme: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Lett krydret anslag med delikate toner av gress, honning, barskog og milde urter i en slank og veltrent maltkropp. Mild urtebitterhet kombinert med lett citrussyrlighet i avslutningen. Godt med et øl som bare smaker øl og ikke alt mulig annet.

Bottle at home. Aroma is malt, strong caramel, toffee, spicy notes, touch of nuts and dried fruits. Flavour is moderate sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Not bad, though I had hoped for a little more Keller and a little less Dunkel.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is artificial lemon, orange, sugar, fanta, with a hint of grainy malt. Flavour is sugary sweet. Body is light. Not a horrible Radler, fairly drinkable when taken as a soft drink.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is grainy malt, hay, straw, lightly hopped with a touch of honey. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and light to moderate bitter. Body is medium. Nicely grainy, a bit sweetish, good Kellerbier. Looking at my notes of Engel Keller-Hell, I enjoyed this one a lot better.

Bottle from Lekkerbier, Sint Nicolaasga. Aroma is sweet grainy malt, cereal, straw, yeasty and grassy notes. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Bit dusty with an unpleasant overdone honey-like sweetness, lacks freshness and refinement.
