Staroplzenecky Absinthe

This Absinthe was ok, you need to add sugar, water and some orange juice, then it is much better tasting. Do Not drink straight. The reviewers that only rated it one or two stars, obviously did not add anything but water. Also, for you people that wanted to try it, should have ordered the smaller bottle. I do enjoy the Original Absinthe much better. Thanks!! Brian S. U.S.A.<br />

This was my first try of this very interesting and odd product - Absinthe. My usual drink is high end tequila. The buzz is slighly slower for this, but very calm and pleasant. I might move up to a better grade next time to see the difference. I would say to try this product for occasions."<br />

Staroplzenecky Absinthe is very low in Thujone, almost not existent, but otherwise a tasty drink and is very common in bars in Prague. I recommend Absinthe Original Bitter for the 1st time buyer or drinker.<br />

The Absinthe does, indeed, taste a little Scope-like, but is still the real deal, with a nice ride once you're into it. It isn't a conneseur's Absinthe, and suffered terribly in the side-by-side test I conducted with serval other brands, and may change the taste of cocktail recipes in unpredictable ways. However, all that said, I have friends who are not regular consumers who found it easier to drink. It is very novice-friendly. If sipped neat, with no other comparison and no mixers, it's shortcomings are eventually concealed. I will buy it again and offer it to occasional drinkers, although I'll horde my other good stuff to myself."<br />

This is my 10th different type of Absinthe I have tried, and I must say I was disappointed. The green colour seemed a bit artificial, almost flourescent in color. Aroma was pleasant, initial taste was nearly all alcohol followed by a sharp pang of "mouthwashy" mint. After effects were not noticable. All in all, I would pass on this and go with the much better Fruko Schulz."<br />
