UPDATED Review based on batch 4.:
Color: A very nice peridot green. Much brighter and inviting that the first two batches, which were over colored, in my opinion.
v3 score: 4
v4 score: 4
Louche: Very nice trails and deeply formed overall louche. Hints of green and blue.
v3 score: 4
v4 score: 4
Aroma: Nice hints of wormwood, green and star anise, and the everpresent veronica. This batch actually has a hint of rootbeer when unlouched. Spicy, in a good way.
v3 score: 3
v4 score: 4
Flavor: Flowery and refreshing with lots of the wormwood coming through. Thicker than batch 3 so I recommend a bit more water. White pepper spiciness with some sweet anise and even some violettes. v4 is a bit more heavy and savory.
v3 score: 4
v4 score: 4
Finish: The numbing of v3 has been reduced, but is still there a bit. The spiciness sticks around for a while.
v3 score: 4
v4 score: 4
Overall: If the numbing was toned down a bit, I would have given the overall score a 4, but since this is an improvement I'd recommend, it would fit within the definition of a 3.
v3 score: 3
v4 score: 3
Note: This absinthe (v3) was also reviewed very favorably by other WS members during the Green Weekend of September 12th, 2009.
