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.

Bottle brought back from Santorini by friends. Pours hazy pale gold with a lasting small white head. Aroma of light vanilla, with light floral, citrus and herbal notes. Light/medium body, smooth and creamy texture, soft carbonation. Pretty good.

Bottle courtesy of Buckeyeboy. Pours out pale golden with fast disappearing foamy head. Aroma is sweet grains and malt. Taste also is the euro lager style, corn, grains, little bitterness. Nothing special here.

Bottle. Aroma of honey with old frying oil. Dirty, muddy, dusty. Disappears completely on the tongue, some honey and very little or maybe old hops. Ugh.
