Absenth blanche v. Absenth verte

got up early this morning and did a small run of pernod fils recipe absenth, minus the roman wormwood, did it as normal, except I changed a few things, instead of running the wash through a pot still type of rig I normaly use, I rigged in a valveless reflux collum I made from a bong, the packing were glass marbles, this untested rig performed better than I thought it did and was gifted with about half a liter of highly flammable Absenth blanche, I poured a dose into my glass, balanced a spoonful of sugar on the rim and slowly dripped ice water from the condenser's resevoir over the sugar, the louche appeared almost instantly forming a creamy opaque pearly white, I sipped down this fluid and it tasted delicious, even at 9 in the morning. prepared a finish of lemon balm and hyssop, which has been steeping for a couple hours, at the moment it has a bright neon emerald green color. I repeated the ritual with this absenthe verte to find that the louching action was little more than tons of swirl action with the slightest twinge of white, Kind of out of it from testing all this absenth but what the fuck gives?
