and  having  a  pleasant  astringent  taste  and  a  faintly  aromatic  and 
herbaceous  odor.  It  mixes  clear  with  water,  syrup  or  diluted 
alcohol  but  alcohol  produces  a  coagulation  and  turbidity.

alcohol.

This  product  at  once  deposited  a  small  amount  of  sediment,  which 
was  readily  strained  off,  and  the  liquid  has  remained  clear  from 
sediment,  but  having  an  opalescence.  It  possesses  in  a  marked 
degree  the  bitterness  and  aroma  of  hops.  It  mixes  clear  with 
diluted  alcohol  and  cloudy  with  water  or  syrup  and  turbid  with 
alcohol.
