The launch of Marilyn Manson own brand of absinthe is not exactly being positively embraced by critics. Most compared the drink's odour to sewage water and one even described the taste as being "as bad as piss". One wonders how this critic would know this... The beverage, launched under the name 'Mansinthe', has also been receiving negative comments by a panel at the gourmet food website www.epicurious.com : the smell of the beverage can be compared to sewage water, swamp mud and rubbing alcohol. And one taster added: "If a smell could speak, this absinthe is saying: 'Do not touch.'"
The final conclusion: "The No. 1 problem was the aroma, which some verbally compared to sewage water or swamp mud, but with the exception of a lone taster, the panel felt it wasn't really worth wading through the odor to get to mediocre flavor anyway." Absinthe being illegal in the US, the product is produced in Switzerland and holds a self-portrait of Manson as an old man a label on the bottle.
And there is more trouble on the horizon as the official Mansinthe website (mansinthe.com) has been put on the Google blacklist as the site has been identified as a one that may install malicious software on your computer. For those who don't want to risk the security of their PC, "Mansinthe" is now officially available at www.absinthe.de for purchase online at 36 EUR per bottle.

Posted by: Sir Evol Eno, Royal Cup-bearer on Feb 18, 08 | 3:45 pm Actually, it's a bit of a "myth" to say absinthe is illegal in the states. A good source of info on the drink is at the Wormwood Society page (http://www.wormwoodsociety.org/). Check out their FAQ page, especially the legality question. |
Posted by: mimic on Feb 18, 08 | 2:03 pm indeed absinthe is pretty harmless, though i do think that (in the words of penny arcade) this isn't "for" critics, it's another gimmick to sell to mansons fans, who on the whole probably don't know anything about decent absinthe anyway :] it's got an amusing name though and is 66.6% alcohol, lol. |
Posted by: I stoled stefans humor on Feb 18, 08 | 1:34 pm Bah they're clearly having a dig at the guy, through this. |
Posted by: Sir Evol Eno, Royal Cup-bearer on Feb 18, 08 | 12:54 pm Did I miss something? Nothing on here blasts Manson himself. And since he didn't make this absinthe himself, it seems to just knock the beverage, not the man. (I've read it was created and then he was asked to put his name on it, but that could be false). |

Posted by: Side-Line on Feb 18, 08 | 9:15 am We are not anti-Mason, but he doesn't really avoid making himself a bit ridiculous :) |
Posted by: Kodae on Feb 18, 08 | 2:22 am Side-Line has always been rather anti-Manson. Which I'm happy with. He needs to GROW UP. |
