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.

330 ml bottle, thanks to Holmen1. ABV is 5%. Some sediment in the bottle, floaties / yeast lumps in the glass dissolve slowly. Cloudy pale yellow colour, small white head. Aroma of yeast, spices (cloves and coriander) and citrus, hints of honey. Soft mouthfeel. Citrussy and refreshing flavour, also notes of mild spices and honey.

Flaske fra lokal sjappe, på hotellbalkongen i Kamari (Santorini): uklar lys gylden med kort skum. Deilig aroma og smak med citron, bergamot og honning. Kjempegod forfriskning i 30 varmegrader.

Flaske fra lokal sjappe, på hotellbalkongen i Kamari (Santorini): uklar korngul med kort skum. deilig aroma og smak preget av de lokale ingrediensene, som iflg etiketten er honning fra Santorini og konsentrat utvunnet av blader av Citrus Medica (sitronen som brukes til sukat) fra Naxos. Lavt karbonert. Mild bitterhet med hint av sitroner. Lettdrikkelig og definitivt annerledes enn det øya flyter over av. ABV er 5%.

Quite dark color with a fine tan head. Ok intensity in the aroma. Could feel the volcano. Medium body and a fine carbonation level. Balanced sweetness. Unusual flavor. Felt like some volcano ash had entered this beer. Also some dark malt, fruity and toffee.

Cloudy yellow color with a fine white head. Ok lacing. Strange aroma. Some lemon notes. Medium body and an average carbonation level. Mellow sweetness. Wheat, honey, fruity, herbs and some citric notes. Quite refreshing. Better than feared with that aroma.

Bottle, big bubbly head, clear lemon yellow color, aroma and flavor of honey and biscuit with a spicy hint, light bitterness, quite sweet. Feels like just another plain sweet lager with no specia trait that could be interpreted as coming from the Citrus Medica.

cloudy yellow, smooth white head. aroma is yeasty, citrussy, dough, sour dough. sourness like a wit , but not the herbal yeastiness from a wit. strange. not super pleasant. flavor is wheat malts, faint banana, very mild hopping, not that bad for a wheat, also flavor is not very bitter probably due to the low abv, and this makes it more balanced imo than many other wheats, that have too much alc. taste in them, with too little balance towards the alc.
