*Received as sample in absinthe explore set from absinthes.com
Appearance - Very attractive in the glass. A little lighter than the other vertes we sampled, but very pretty.
Louche - Again, very attractive. Not a spectacular "show," but correct: not too thick, not too thin.
Aroma - Pleasant, light, and balanced. Nothing overwhelming.
Flavor - Very easy to drink! Refreshing and light. Very well-balanced.
Finish - Fades very quickly with no outstanding characteristics.
Overall - Very enjoyable. Light, refreshing, extremely easy to drink (more a "chugger" than a "sipper"). It may be a bit "weak" and ordinary, but it is still a good MOR effort. This would make for a good introduction to absinthe.
