Appearance - Straw with hints of green; no sediment
Louche - Nice green louche. Hints of white and yellow. Nice thickness, but not really opalescent.
Aroma - wonderful. Sweet and minty with nice wormwood, fennel, and sweet anise. Deep and inviting.
Flavor - tons if it. Very complex. Anise is moderated by the mintiness of the wormwood and a hint of citrus. Slightly astringent.
Finish - nice finish with slight bitterness that builds the more you drink, but not in an unpleasant way. Might be subdued with some sugar.
Overall - very enjoyable, easy drinker. A great representation of an authentic absinthe.
