Absinthe is terribly undercoloured with just a small point of green tinge. The louche is too rapid and one-dimensional, badiane presence is evident. ...
Being an ardent Angelique fan, I haven't been convinced by the appearance of Opaline. It is a solid, more feminine absinthe, created maybe as the more angelic...
Absinthe pours a velvety light golden cognac with very tiny greenish reflections. The closest would be Clandestine verte Suisse. Perfect. Swirling, subtle louche. At 1:1, there is...
Colour is Light golden. Could be darker. The tinge is in the vein of L'italienne but not spoiling the coeur of distillation. Louche is translucent, almost to...
Absinthe is clear and presents a nice turbulent louche with oil trails and more, what is pleasant to observe. Once louched it shows a gentle opacity with little blueish notes...
I have reviewed two versions of veuve verte, the one that was 69%-1 and the other that was 68%-2. There was a premiere version, 54% which I have not had...
Colour, louche and general characteristics are typical of la bleue style and there is nothing in these departments that would make Sapphire be an odd man out. ...
It looks like a blanche, but is not that clear. That batch is quite good, the previous batches were yellow-tinged AFAIK. Louche is turbulent and ends opaque....
Absinthe appears as a crystal lake liquid that transforms slowly into a milk upon the addition of water. The aroma is herbal, not herbaceous with present anisy...
Colour is clear, no flaws no sediments. Louche is a bit too quick, yet nice to look at. Aroma is very puzzling depending...

Colour: Natural green with a yellow edge. Pleasant to look at, so no complaints. Upon addition of water it louches. Opalescence in its pure form. Neither too opaque nor too...
colour: Nice green with yellowish tinge. Reveals a decent and proper colouration what was not always the case as regards Emile Pernot products. louche: ...
Colour: clear, no sediment, no flaws. I thought it would be more in the semi translucent blanche direction louche: 1:1 opaque, badiane-influenced louche, too quick ...
Here we have a very decent blanche in the typical French, not Swiss tradition. The product is clean, robust and herbaceous. The louche is slow-forming but getting...
A typical la bleue, having nothing to do with a first class les bleues, but being a some sort of clandestine absinthe one would get in the years 1940-1970. ...
La Fine series by Racine is a kind of mystery to me. I have had them for the very first at Boveresse and to tell...
I have been following the development of Butterfly since the time its creator called it simply AA-American absinthe. In comparison with the early prototypes and the unofficial...
Colour is just right, though artificial. Louche is too quick and too thick. aroma is chemical amd absinthe wrong. flavourless with hints of mint...
Time of seduction has come. I have been given the following absinthe upon my arrival in Switzerland. I had lotsa expectations, which failed. ...
