Appearance: Very very very light. A tinge of yellow, but that's about it. At first glance, you'd think it's a flawed blanche.

Louche: Extremely thin louche. At the bottom of the glass, it's practically transparent.

Aroma: Slightly minty. Undertones of anise. Wormwood is the dominant aroma, but it needs more supporting characters.

Flavor: Thin mouthfeel. Nice spiciness from the wormwood but little else. Needs a lot more anise and fennel. The wormwood is good quality, it just needs more of everything. This would be more enjoyable as a wormwood schnapps.

Finish: Fleeting. Some spice from the wormwood and just a hint of anise, it just recedes quite quickly.

Overall: A decent first try. Nothing glaringly wrong, just thin. I think they were a bit too hesitant to go full-on with the herb bill their first go round. If they up the herbal punch, this could be quite enjoyable.
