The color as poured is a pale greenish blue, very thin. The louche takes a while to erupt and when it does is terribly thin and translucent. The aroma before louche is anise anise anise, after, cat urine and anise. The taste is cloyingly sweet and anisey, like sambuca or an anisette. There is a bit of tongue numbing that subsides quickly. Overall, get arak or ouzo or a pastis or anything. I would rather drink louched sambuca than this.
I tried this prepared traditionally and had to sink it. Drunk straight or mixed into cocktails, I find it generally good, but not a valid substitute for the real thing. I would treat the purchase and use of this spirit like any other flavored vodka. The flavor is weak enough to mix well with other flavors and I've made some good drinks using this product. However, I can't say that I would re-purchase the product knowing what I know.
I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT THE MOST TRADITIONAL OF ABSENTE, BUT FOR ME THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT CONTINUALLY ENJOYABLE. IT'S SOFT ENOUGH ON THE PALATE TO BE ENJOYED THROUGH OUT AN EVENING. WHILE IT STILL HOLDS HARBOR THE QUINTESSENTIAL AROMA. TO ME IT'S A REFRESHING CHANGE
