Has anyone tried Lucid Absinthe?

Question

I'm milling around buying a bottle, but at $70 dollars I would like some feed back.

Answer 1

I haven't personally tried it but have a friend who did.  you need to be careful with it the ingredient that gives you that effect is poisonous and can make you very sick.

Answer 2

It is low quality. Lucid is labelled as beet spirit, other brands such as Kübler and Sirene as grain neutral spirits. If you really want to try one of these USA safe - thujone free - absinthes then Kubler is the best. Lucid's makers not only removed the thujone to comply with the FDA they also reduced the anise content to "suit" US tastes!  

Answer 3

It's good ^_^ you get moneys worth

Answer 4

its not "real" absinthe it doesnt contain the "active" ingredient known as thujone.. in my opinion absinthe has no real redeeming qualities other than being a high proof of alcohol.. and people being impressed by the fact that you obtained absinthe.. i dont really enjoy the taste much it taste like anise seed/ licorice..you dont see "green fairies" their are no rainbow colors there is no hallucinating.. i have tried many different types of absinthe seeking out this experience to no avail.. if you want to spend 70$ that is your choice.. i personally would rather by a nice bottle of scotch/vodka/tequila..
