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.

Bottled. A clear, golden beer with an off-white head looking quite nice. Quite weak aroma, maltbased with some fruityness. Malt, hops and hints of caramel in the flavor. Medium body, a bit sweetish, with malt and fruity hops at the finish. A decent beer, maybe a bit on the sweet side. Probably worth the money in the local area, but nothing more. (070404)

Bottle. Fruity aroma. Clear golden colour, white head. The flavour is a little rough, like some bocks. Not caramelly, though. Quite bready flavour, and not as clean as I expected it to be.

Creamy white fair mostly deminishing head. Pale greenisch yellow colour. Powerfull citrus aroma and flavor. Actually this one has some bitterness. Watery palate. Not as artificial as feared, but still not beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a very hazy golden with a dense, white head. Vague aroma of yeast and banana. Medium body with sweetish notes of wheat, banana and citrus - all the usual stuff for a Hefe - with some yeast and phenols thrown in. Not a bad Hefe though. 190207

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, deep golden with a small, white head. Sweetish, clean malt aroma. Medium body with a completely clean base of pilsener malt with quite some sweetness. But everything is balanced perfectly by some dry hops. A decent and harmonious Helles. 160207
