Has anyone here tried Absinthe; the "new" Absinthe?

1 Answer

Answer :

I tried Lucid earlier this year. I didn’t have any reaction to it. I really liked the taste of it. I never knew about any of the issues about Absinthe until a friend of mine had told me about them after we tried the Lucid. I’m not really sure what I think about it, especially since I never had Absinthe before I tried the Lucid, so I have nothing to compare it to.
