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, thanks to Bochum. Cloudy amber colour, large head, strange aroma. Full-bodied, very yeasty, slightly fruity and malty and somehow strange. Didn’t like it at all.

Bottle, 5.9%. Weak bready and grainy aroma, not good, not bad. Clear greyish, dark amber colour. Stable white head. The flavour is rough and grainy, a little sour, and not that pleasant. Slightly maltier than macro lager and not very bitter.

50 cL bottle, trade with Koelschtrinker. Pours dark brown to amber, visible and with a dense off-white head. Breadish malt aroma with a light sweetness and carboard-ish note. Flavour is medium sweet malt, subdued spice flavours and with a light lurking alcohol presence beneath. Mild malty finish with a subdued alcohol flavour, yet still providing a general lifting of the malt flavours. Standard dunkler bock which doesn’t add nor retract compared to others on the market.

Süßer Antrunk, erst spritzig, dann wird das Radler aber sehr künstlich, der starke Ton ist kaum zu übersehen. Deutlich zitronig, etwas hopfig, weiterhin sehr süß und künstlich. Unangenehm! Test vom 23.4.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,4,4,4,11,3 - 4,15

(3/2/08) Sample from a bottle (thanks to whoever brought this one) at the RB table at Zythos Bier Festival 2008 in Sint Niklaas. 7.2% ABV. Very clear golden with quickly-diminishing white head. Aroma of malt and a bit of bread. Flavor of malt, a tiny bit of caramel and hints of alcohol. Medium-bodied. Pretty weak-flavored for such a rather strong bock.
