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.

33cl Bottle from greekbeershop.gr. Hazy pale golden colour, white head. Aroma of loads of bergamot and lime, wheat, almost like toilet refreshener. Flavour of raw wheat, lime, bergamot, very perfumed, radler comes to mind, soapy finish. Light bodied. Totally overdone on the bergamot, but I kinda like that.

Bottle from an Athens supermarket. Decent pour, offwhite head and a very dark ruby body. Odd aroma of tar and fake syrup, usually I like that kind of thing but here it comes across as unbalanced. Flavour is soft coffee, some brownie. Watery finish. Not particularily bad but I see potential here that hasn't been reached.

Big bleach white head, very yellow body. Soft aroma of organic trash and boiled cabbage. Flavour is smooth light sweetness, lemon, vague grain notes. Drinkable but really just another boring lager for the pile.
