Dunkel. Using our signature method of brewing with Santorini honey and citrus medica. This exquisite light black wheat lager, a private reserve is inspired by the black cliffs of Santorini. The flavour is light, crisp and fresh in contrast to its deep colour.

Bottle. Aroma of honey with old frying oil. Dirty, muddy, dusty. Disappears completely on the tongue, some honey and very little or maybe old hops. Ugh.

Bottle from a Thessaloniki supermarket, Greece. Pours a clear mid brown colour with a small off white head. Lovely chocolate malt and coffee aroma is the highlight of this beer. Medium coffee roast bitterness to taste, medium sweetness. Body is light and texture thin which detracted from overall score. Enjoyable but beauty of the aroma not matched overall.

Shared 11.2 oz. bottle. Pours dark amber with a beige head. Fine lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, and honey. Similar taste, with an added toasted/burnt malt component. A little sweet, with very mild bitterness. Not really picking up on the citric elements. Moderate carbonation and light-bodied. Not bad.

Bottle. Dark reddish brown with a white head. Faint aroma of citrus fruits plus dark malts and hints of coffee. Taste is roasted malts, citrus fruits, tea and a little bit of honey. I didn't really detect any wheat. Medium to strong carbonation. Thin mouthfeel. It's ok.

Pours hazy dark reddish brown with a beige head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, honey, floral and citrus. Taste is medium and light bitter with an average toasted, malty, caramel and with a hint of ash, chocolate, licorice and citrus in the finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.
