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.

Svart farge med lys beige, høyt skum som limer seg til glasset etterhvert som du drikker. Lukter karamell og hint av kaffe. Ganske mye kullsyre, men ganske flat ettersmak.

Thx! for the bottle. 33 cl. bottle @ home. Clear golden, basically no head. Smell is pale grains, hay, slightly soapy, faint honey & lemon, pretty grainy. Sweet grainy taste, touch soppy, grass, typical lager profile with some very oily cheap honey, lemongrass, light leaves & grass, floral, slightly warming. Oily, cheap honey, bit fizzy body. A better alternative for pale lager which is what they were aiming for I assume.

33 cl. bottle @ home. Top of the neck says “Greece debt free” which leads me to this website: http://www.greecedebtfree.org/ Everything is politics these days, maybe everything has always been politics. I am not really sure about what their cause is from the website, it doesn’t seem like a bad one. It also has one of the weirdest caps ever, reminds me of the cover of “The 13th Floor Elevators”. Anyway, the beer pours a very dark brown, blackish colour with a fading beige head. Smells of a coffee-filter, grains, hazelnut coffee, dark malts, wheat & lager yeast. Sweetish taste, coffee filter, thick hazelnut coffee, light roast, some grains, bit watery, wheat, lager yeast & lager profile, light caramel. Slightly watery body, lager profile. Still it is not from a beer country, taste interesting, is enjoyable & is actually not a pale lager. Commands respect, I quite liked it. Bottle says lava rock filtered black wheat Greek lager. It is made with only ingredients where they are from and with hone (although honestly I am getting no honey here). It Thx!

Bottle at home. Pours a clear and golden straw colour with a white, medium head. Aroma of pale malt, hay, grass, hops and sweet corn. The flavour is close with more grass, hay and some strange metallic in the end. A little dry in the end. Light and watery mouth feel, and light bitterness. An okay aroma but the flavour didn�t follow. Where�s the honey and citrus?

[Thanks to fugitive]. Bottled. Golden colour with an average white head, medium lasting. Aroma is cereal, light malty and hay. Flavor is very slightly malty with citrus notes and grassy hints. Poor final with a very light bitterness.
