The color is a deep natural almost forest green color. Quite apropos with the Deep Forest name attached to it. The louche is wonderful....
The color of this absinthe is one of my favorites, a deep peridot green. Very inviting and intriguing. The louche was nice, but it...
This is probably one of my favorite commercially made absinthes. It's evident from the moment the bottle is opened, all the way to the last drop that this product...
Updated Review 5-24-10 Got a new bottle a couple of weeks ago, so I decided to update the review. Color: A light green with hints of yellow. ...
ORIGINAL REVIEW FROM 7/27/07: Tagged even by Ted Breaux as a 'Jade light', this is the first authentic absinthe to be released for purchase within the U.S. since the early...
It's color is most definitely green, but to me it seems unnaturally so. Very bright. Ice cold water creates amazing oil trails from the beginning. It gets...
This is a very unique offering from the Jade line. It's almost a love it or hate it kind of thing, like Montmartre. The color is a...
Color is a wonderful emerald/peridot green. Clear and natural. Louche builds up slowly in layers with the characteristic great Jade oil trails until it turns into a fully...

Color is a very light green. Natural. Louche produces great oil trails with a gradual louche, ending with a brilliant light green opalescence. Aroma begins with a...
I bought Deva back in 1997, when I was living in Madrid. Many of my Spanish friends drank it, so I picked up a bottle for nostalgic purposes. ...
Overall, a decent absinthe. One that can be used to introduce people to absinthe as a basic brand. The color is clear and natural, but not...
Mata Hari bills itself as an absinthe without the anis. Well, it definitely doesn't have the anis. The color is obviously a fake, bright...
Color was a wonderful straw color with still a few hints of green. A great example of typical Feuille Morte. I had to take...
This absinthe would be a good place to start for a newcomer, especially included in a flight of several of the basic-style absinthes. The color wasn't the...
December 2009 update: The vinegary note I originally found in my bottle is no longer there. Aging must have helped it. Scores changed to reflect that. ...
The first run of Montmartre is much spicier on the palate, with the cinnamon much more pronounced than the later version. Speaking from personal taste, I like this run...
Upon opening the bottle and decanting into smaller sampler bottles for more secure storage, it's amazing how well the color held up in this vintage batch. The fuille morte...
The color is not too bad, at least it looks natural. Water brings about a slow-developing louche that's not great, but it's also not too bad. It still...
