This is based on a bottle from DrinkUpNY. The color is not as green as I would typically expect from a verte, especially given the description on their web...
Although the color of this blanche is perfectly clear, and the louche fairly typical, the aroma and flavor of this brand seem more consistent with the one-dimensional vertes than a...
I really like the bottle that Trillium ships in, but I did have higher expectations, even after reading some of the other comments. In general, this product isn't bad,...
This is one of my favorites. Although I had to detract some points in the color and louche categories, this product more than makes up for it in flavor....

I found Lucid to be okay, but not great. It is not one I would consider stocking regularly. The color and louche are generally average, and nothing really...
Given the summer 08 market for absinthe in the US, I really can't recommend this brand enough, especially given it's the price/volume. The taste is very mild, but full....
