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: Golden coloured, only slightly hazy, mid-sized creamy head, slowly collapsing; mainly bananas and cloves - as usual - in the nose; sweetish flavour, medium bodied, quite fizzy; short fruity and sweetish finish, a bit tart and bitter in the aftertaste. Not well rounded, boring...........

500 ml bottle with screwcap, RBESG 2006 Grand Tasting. ABV is 6.0%. Amber colour, low head. Moderately malty aroma with hints of caramel and oak. Fairly traditional lager flavour with some caramel malts added, but not sweet. OKish, but no masterpiece.

(bottle) Cloudy amber colour with a big and persistent beige foamy head. Slightly sweet and yeasty banana-fruity aroma with cloves. Slightly toasted wheat-malty and fruity taste with a sparkling mouthfeel, also a bit slim according to the 5.5 % ABV; moderately dry, slightly sour-fruity and clovy finish.

An orange beer with a disappearing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with light touches of caramel and alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with a light caramel touch, leading to a dry bitter end. Thanks MiP.

Bottle. Weak fruity aroma. Almost clear golden colour, big stable white head. The flavour has apple acidity and fruitiness, a bit cidery. Strange, I am not sure if this is off or not.

Bottle. No aroma. Clear, nice brown colour. Big, stable light brown head. The flavour is quite nice: sweet, roasted and slightly dusty. Nicely alcohol warming. Good mouthfeel, pleasant carbonation. Essentially a nice malty doppelbock.
