You answered it fine. Czech absinthe is nasty.

From the second link that I posted,

quote:

Czech absinthe, according to most absinthe reviews, tastes like alcohol-drenched mouthwash and one may even see leaves of plants floating at the bottom of the bottle. Forget about the other so-called French absinthes (made with mugwort, not wormwood). Most of the other advertised European absinthes (like the Danish) either have negligible thujone or other chemical components meant to deceive the senses

Basically, you had some good absinthe (you called it "yummy") - and then you had some bad (Czech). If you tasted some nasty beer would you say that ALL beer was nasty? I doubt it.

both absinthes are/were czech. i havent had that many absinths to compare. i called it yummy, well why i dont know. i think what was more 'yummy' was the effects of it; perhaps i was stoned while i wrote that post, which at that point ANYTHING is yummy.....but anyways thanks for digging up my past comments on how i feel about absinth, for the record i now think of it as a nasty taste, perhaps if a thread comes up again on absinth, i will, at that point, find it yummy again . (i am female, which means i am entitled to change my mind as often as i like )

people weren't invisible one year ago too

Haha. It's cool.

Actually, I was looking for one of my old posts regarding Absinthe. The forum search is down so I Googled it and it came up with that old thread, among others. You have to love the internet.

Yeah they were.

i got a nice bottle that i brought back from ibiza this summer, that stuff is nutz, if anyone wants to drink down wit me call me up

my friend tried it at Bonnaroo...he said it didnt work. then compared to the other drugs that were floating around Bonnaroo, he prob. didnt get affected by absynthe.

absinth is just like any other liquor......just wayyy nastier

That's the broadest and most uninformed generalization that I've heard all week.

With good Absinthe, your thoughts often become more lucid after a couple of drinks. It's not like anything else in the world.

any 1 wanna hook me up with a bottle?

my friends and me had a bunch of absinthe in madrid last yr,
and it tastes soooooooooooooo bad....
but we drank it just cause - i mean, we were IN madrid

had 6-7 shots of it, and it fucks u up fer sure, weird really.

there ARE 2 kinds, black and green. i dont suggest the black

LOL. Well, I had several enjoyable Absinthium encounters in the summer of 2000 but haven't really fooled with it since.

Tried it on Friday, didn't do crap.
Apparently the stuff you find in the EU is not hard enough to make you hallucinate anymore. I think my friend got it from France.
Anyway, my friend told me that if you want the harder stuff, you can find it in eastern Europe, where it's legal.
Don't know if this is true though, I only know it didn't do crap to me...

Absinthe won't make you "hallucinate" per se. It's more of a visual and audible stimulation. It's conducive to conversation, writing, etc.

i tried it this weekend.... dont remember much of it since iwas so fucked up but i was mostly sober before i took it... took it and some other shit and BHAM!

i tried it in Prague this summer .. looks like mouthwash .. tastes worse

Personally, it is one of my favorite drinks. If you get a good bottle, and mix it well, it is very tasty (assuming u like the taste of anis). As for it's effect, it is different from regular alcohol, but not as halluceganic as other drugs might be. For a nice regular dose, 2 or 3 shots for the night, and you will be fine

Originally posted by Miss Bliss Very yummy? Which absinthe were you drinking?? lol

unfortunately my bottle is a tad beyong my grasp (5000 miles), but it is some spanish label.
Yes, I think it is yummy, but if you do not like anise, then I can understand why you wouldn't like Absinth.

Pernod is a french brand. Anise liquor without the wormwood.

A typical response to Czech Absinthe


I still say Swiss La Bleue is the way to go.

If you don't want to spend too much money but are eager to feel like you're partying in Ibiza, then try some Mari Mayans.
