Volk
A golden session pale ale with subtle spice, bold citrus and stone fruit at 4.2%. Volk takes its name from the Slavic word for wolf, and its hops are Wolf, Bobek and Eagle, all grown in Slovenia's Styrian region. It is part of the brewery's grand tour of the world's hop-growing countries, and session pale ales grew out of American craft brewers' wish for a thirst-quenching taproom beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Volk
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
