1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
Gold in colour, with medium carbonation. Aromas of black licorice and allspice, with a bit of light malt in the background. More of the same in the mouth, but with a kind of a poorly made strong lager component (estery in a bad way). Heavy bodied as well, which seems quite out of place. This is not a good beer at all, but it’s more bizzare than disgusting.

Tin bottle, shared with Greg, Harry, and Paul, thanks R. Yellow, no head. Fruity, citrus and floral aroma - the best part of this beer. Taste is harsh, metallic, medicine like. Alcohol as well. Short harsh finish. Nice try.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, tupalev, Dave B. and R. -- courtesy of R. Pours a clear bubbly gold with a small diminishing white head. Very sweet aroma of sugar, spices and medicinal alcohol. Light Lager flavour with some licorice and that aforementioned medicinal alcohol. Very light bodied. I’m not sure why anyone would buy this but I don’t like it at all.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Aluminum Bottle (330ml). Shared with blankboy, GregClow, tupalev, Dave B and R - courtesy of R. Poured bubbly pale gold with a small fizzy white head. Aroma is not that different from their boring gingembre - sweet sharp floral ginger with an odd woody funkiness that I assume is absinthe. The taste is like a sweet macro pale lager with fizzy medicinal metallic jangling notes. Mouthfeel is watery and fizzy - I didn’t like it much at all.

UPDATED: JAN 22, 2006 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy, tupalev, Dave B & R. - courtesy of R. Gloden colour with a small white head. Aroma is sharp, very sweet with a medicinal tang. Oily mouthfeel. Flavour of a strong, harsh lager with a bit of licorice before the chemically finish. A questionable experiment gone horribly wrong...

Tin bottle
Blond color. Strange aroma, light rubberband, light herbs (mint). Strong Lager, with a minty aftertaste. Not easy…
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy golden, small creamy head with a good lacing. Spicy, herbal, anise-like nose. Lightly sweetish and malty, but actually rather light-bodied. Honestly I’ve never tasted absinthe, but it’s definitely a very unusual flavour, and it’s pretty much hit or miss whether you like it or not. Comes in a weird aluminum bottle. 110705
