This is a really quirky absinthe, from the color, which is a very appealing deep green (neat), but tinged with blue, to the flavor, which reminds me of a spiced Christmas ale blended with a dash of Old Bay seasoning.
The louche is very good, but not great, with a nice opaque effect, but not much building action.
The finish is lengthy, but not particularly wormwoody, especially for absinthe which tested fairly high in residual thujone. (I believe it was in the 30s).
When I'm in the mood, it's a great oner, but more often than not, I'm not.
