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 from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is sweetish grainy malt with notes of cereal, straw and a slightly buttery touch. Flavour is too sweet with barely any bitterness. Body is medium. Starts out fairly promising but then quickly descends into sweet cereal, I don't like it.

Аромат немного дрожжевой и очень мягко-фруктовый. Пены почти нет на удивление, цвет хороший. Вкус по началу супер, очень фруктовый, лишь немного ощущается сама пшеничка. Имеются хлебные и дрожжевые мотивы. Послевкусие с легкой хмелевой подоплекой. В не понимаю почему данное пиво имеет такой низкий рейтинг, да оно слегка водянистое, но все же вкус весьма солидный.

500ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Pours a two-finger thick, white head leaving crocheted lacing on the glass, misty pale golden body. Modest aromas of fruity wheat, lightly spiced. Blended taste of noble hops, cereal malts, wheat and added by a discreet spicy note. Mid-dry, wheat fruity ending. Light creamy mouthfeel. Food friendly. Just okay. (Tromsø, 31.01.2025).

Canned version with a different design to the bottle. Smoothish in texture, quite ordinary lager in the grand scheme of things.
