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...

Lovely in Pink

A lovely pink hue with slight amount of sediment, but that is not abnormal for a rouge. Louche: Wonderful colors of white and shades of pink. ...

Unique and enjoyable

Normally I get concerned when a brand markets itself as a 'low anise' style absinthe. I always warn people that there is no such thing as absinthe without anise,...

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....

Appearance: peridot green with first press olive oil hues. Bright and attractive. No sediment. Judiciously colored. Louche: The additional anise has really helped to improve the louche....

Different

I like that it's light on the anise flavor, even if it's unusual. I think most absinthes have too much anise/fennel etc. Smooth inoffensive (slightly medical? eugenol?(I know, spelling)) flavor....

Appearance: a warm forest green color but apparently the best quality mentionable. Louche: hardly present at all but makes a fair effort at best. Many other even modestly decent...
