Thanks to a big sky friend for sending a sample of this new release. A nice well rounded green, but a tad light for me....
It's perfectly clear, so that gives it a 5. The louche is a bit too quick. It's not off-putting, but it's too quick to be completely...
The color needs major improvement. It's kind of a thin, urine yellow. Absolutely no louche to speak of. You get some trails, but...
Upon first seeing the Reality in the glass without the addition of water, one can believe that they might be in for a nice experience. The color is an...
I got a sample of this from a foxy friend. The color isn't too bad, a nice peridot green, but it seems a bit artificial. The...
This absinth is just as horrifying as their green offering. In fact, maybe moreso when you think about what the heavy red dye is doing to your insides. ...
Absinth Original was one of my first online purchases of absinth since moving back to the States. I'm very glad to say that my affair with the Original was...
This is one drink I'd not like to be reviewing. The color is really odd. When I first received the bottle it was a greenish blue. As...
A sample was generously provided by a friend. The color is an artificial aquamarine. It reminds me of Scope. The addition of cold water via dripper resulted...
Color: A nice, bright, clear absinthe Louche: Nice and thick with a great opalescence when done. It's not too quick to form, which lends another level of...

A generous sample of this vintage Mexican absinthe was provided by a good friend. Much appreciated! Color is a light yellow with hints of...
Updated review 10-3-09: Not much has changed other than the color is now a bit too dark for me and the louche is just way too thick, bringing the...
Hiram has done something wonderful here. I had the pleasure of tasting the prototype before the initial release at the Tales of the Cocktail event in July of 2007....
Color is a very appealing, natural looking light green. No sediment. Very bright. Not surprisingly, the louche is slow to form and is rather thin...
I was very happy to see the old Doubs completely overhauled. The color is a very nice peridot yellow-green. No visible sediment. The...
I received some of this essence from a gentleman who runs the site that sells it. The color is definitely artificial looking, but not unattractive....
Although this absinthe only comes in extremely small apothecary bottles, and is rather pricey, it's still something that should be experienced. The color is a...
ORIGINAL REVIEW FROM 10/8/07: Color is very bright and clear, as would be expected from a blanche. Louche begins quickly and builds well, with nice oil trails, and a...
