We ordered this horseradish along with other items. This particular horseradish have that unique taste we expect from a horseradish, sharp taste which will clear your sinuses ;) We personally have not liked the after taste, its very bitter and lingers on your taste buds for a long time. If this is the normal aftertaste then it's excellent, if it is not then may be.... we are not sure, but for us it wasn't pleasant.
