Description
Volkan beer is the first Greek beer born in Santorini, inspired and made from the finest local ingredients of the Cycladic islands. Santorini is volcanic and unique. Our spectacular island receives little rainfall, so what grows is intense in flavour and aromas and limited in quantity. In brewing Volkan we bring together, lava rock filtered mineral water and the best of local ingredients; rare Santorini grape honey and ancient citrus medica essence from Naxos.

Clear cola brown color, thin head and minimal lace. Roasted coffee and dark wheat aroma. Flavour is on the sweet side but not overly sweet with a clean dry roasted finish. Overly carbonated.

Bottle, 5/27/15. Somewhat sweet, wheat aroma. A bit of fruit to it. Pours a murky yellow color with a fairly large head and light lace. Tastes leans sweet and wheaty as well. Fairly clean, with a softer than expected carbonation, and a decent feel. Not bad. Probably better than the Grey.

Location: 12 oz bottle from a grocery in Fira, 5/26/15

Aroma: Spice and citrus/orange (guess that's the bergamont?), wheat, floral notes, and honey
Appearance: It pours a cloudy golden color with a foamy white head and some light-medium lacing
Flavor: It tastes spice and fruit forward, not super sweet, wheaty, and a mild bitterness
Palate: The body is light-medium with an average to lively carbonation, and a fizzy close
Overall Impression: Not bad, not great. The spice and fruit combo works alright. The whole combination works alright actually. Interesting more so than good, but worth trying.

Bottle @ Post-Easter Procrastination, Ulfborg. Pours hazy straw with small white head. Clear aroma of hops and malt, with notes of spices and citrus. Flavour of pepper, with notes of malt and fruit and yeast, and bitter hoppy touches. Acetic aftertaste with spicy notes. Not very bad but nothing to write home about. Definitely not a German Hefeweizen

Auch wenn das graue Etikett mit dem Vulkan Santorini an ein Rauchbier denken lässt, so hat man doch ein gut fruchtiges Weizenbier vor sich. Es hat allerlei florale Aromen, welche von einer Honigsüße in den Abgang geführt werden. Ein angenehmes Bier, das Lust auf einen Griechenland-Urlaub macht.

Gefunden in einem Supermarkt in Thessaloniki im Jahre 2015, also beziehe ich meine Bewertung auf Erinnerungen. Es war ein recht angenehmes Blond Ale mit leicht blumigen Aroma und leichter Grasigkeit, die aber etwas plump rüberkamen. Doch es ließ sich sehr angenehm trinken und hinterließ ein feines Prickeln auf der Zunge.

Crystal clear with decent head. Malts and honey in the aroma. Has a tight and fine carbonation. Feels very fresh. Light honey sweetness. Has a slight herbal and citrusy background.
