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.

500 ml screwcap bottle, a gift from my son Steinar, bought in Poland. ABV is 5.5%. Crystal clear very pale yellow colour, huge white head. Moderate but pleasant aroma of citrus, banana and cloves. The flavour is zesty and quite refreshing, with weak notes of banana and cloves. The mouthfeel is rather thin.

500ml bottle with a long neck and a screw cork, bought at Bier Spezialitäten Laden in Berlin. Good looking in the glass with a very deep, ruby-brown body under a slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweet, all-malty aroma. Sweet, dark brittle caramel in flavour with a touch of alcohol. In danger of getting assertively sweet. Quite possible to drink, but really not my kind of a winter warmer (Tromsø, 02.01.2010).
