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.

26 September 2019. Bottle from a supermarket in Agia Pelagia, Crete. Balcony tasting in Pela Mare hotel. Shared with the lovely Anke! Pours hazy dark brown-black with a lasting, thin, frothy, tan head. Aroma of wet earth, dried tea leaves, toast, prune, coffee ground, caramel, chestnut. Taste is light to medium malty sweet, basically biscuity, toasty with a hint of honey, vague dark fruits underneath, slightly bitter. Develops something minerally with a salty rock-like effect. Dryish, soft earthy hoppy finish, lingering sourish dark fruit & toast. Light body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Too subtle all in all, could have been better.

Uit een flesje in de Ierse pub in Kamarai, Santorini. Redelijk, maar geen bijzonder wit bier.
