Bomber. Awesome looking bottle with a great, simple design of a 50’s style Marilyn Monroe looking girl. The beer’s a golden copper color, clear, big soapy head that disappears quickly. Very sour, lemony nose with some nice bready malts. I get a hint of sourdough bread, lemons, and sharp carbonation. This brew comes across more like a thin Belgian dubbel than what you’d expect out of a small brewery’s attempt at a usually boring, watery style. This is the best golden or blonde I’ve had to date.

May 11, 2008 Smells sweet and fruity, and tastes of malts, wheat, and fruityness. Not to bad, It cheap and good!

Apr 12, 2008 Bomber. Pours a hazy light gold with a tall head that sticks around for a while. The aroma is tame and slightly musty, though provides some zestiness and wheaty notes. The mouthfeel is light and fairly fizzy, though refreshing. Fokker is pretty clean and has tiny hints at fruity esters and almost something like grapefruit and lemons. Everything is very light, but nicely done especially considering the style.

Mar 23, 2008 22oz bottle from TJ’s. Been passing on this for a while but decided I wanted a little something after a few drinks at the bars. Probably should have waited for a more sober time to drink this as I wasn’t really into it last night, but I did save some for the morning to remind my palate. Pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Nose is lemons, oranges, bready malts, and wheat. Flavor has a lot of citrus and lemons and a distinct tartness for sure but also has a distinct bready malt character that is more evident in the mouthfeel. Must admit this beer is more interesting than I expected. A nice surprise from Azalea. And I probably would never have tried it if it wasn’t for ratebeer. So that says something about why I rate.
