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.

330ml bottle from Siganos wine & spirits shop. Bright golden body, minimal lacing from a fair white head. Pale malts and a note of herbal hops to the nose. Restrained taste profile of pale malts and ripe lemon. Mid-sweet grainy end. Clean in the mouth. Standard stuff. (Hotel room, Rethymnon 13.06.2017).

Bottle from supermarket in Thessaloniki. Not very nice beer, some sweet floral tastes but overall nout special. Might be nice ice cold on tap on the island.

Butelka 330ml (07.2017). Piwo klarowne o jasno-złotej barwie. Piana biała, obfita, dość trwała ale niespecjalnie zdobi szkło podczas opadania. Aromat słodowy z delikatną słodkawą nutą miodu ale z drugiej strony czuć, że jest dość porządnie wyprany, bardzo zbieżny do klasycznych koncerniaków. W smaku piwo jest słodkie z wyraźną nutą miodu, praktycznie bez goryczki, lekkie, pijalne choć nic nie urywa.
