Pours a very emerald green. Louches nicely, with a nice layering effect if you go slowly, before the whole drink becomes a nice greyish cloud (with subtle blues and yellow...

Just as good as the other Jades

In my glass, the green color is very transparent. It's like faintly colored water. The green that I can see is that typical jade-like green you see in all the...

Nice Absinthe.

Took a gamble on this one since there were no reviews on it and very little info online. At first it seemed plain (flavor), average, or even mediocre, but after...

Freshhhhhh

Color- Somewhere between an olive green and a golden brown. It can look just kind of brownish in the bottle, from across the room, but when you actually pour it...

Sorceled

I don't really like having to rate the appearance of absinthe in general but especially blanche. It's clear. What more is there to say? The louche is pretty bad....

Something a little different

Clear but vivid light green appearance, looks great in my glass. The louche happens fast unless you pour/drip very slow. Thick louche. The aroma is probably the stand-out characteristic of...

good value

Leans more towards a pale olive-yellowish-brown kind of color rather than a deep green of any kind. Reminds me of a bottle of Meadow of Love I had for over...

it has bite

Deep, almost murky peridot appearance. The louche is spectacular, with lots going on during a slow drip. Swirling clouds and different layers that eventually merge into one translucent, milky haze....
