Full Disclosure – on the side, I am now extolling the virtues of beers in the Artisanal Imports line-up, of which Seef is a part. But, as always, I will review this straight up with no hemming and/or hawing.
This is a rarely seen beer in Los Angeles. Despite the distinctive retro label and fat bodied bottle which make it stand out from the crowd. In five years, I have had this beer only twice.
It pours a hazy light orange color and quite foamy. A graphic on the label instructs you to swirl the bottle while pouring which I do. There is a coriander spice and vanilla taste here that mirrors the aroma. It is crisp and light with a small touch of orange and even banana.
It is almost a mash up of a blonde ale and a wit with a touch of tripel and hefe to it. Like a DJ did a remix of four different songs.
