Gorilla Glue #4 hit hard as expected with its original flavor and showed potential to be an aesthetically marvelous bud.
The bud is radiant and particularly lively. The leaves appear healthy and voluminous. Scarce orange pistils, consistent trichomes, and overall lighter-green shaded flowers. The sight was a nice impression however the accompanying smell had more to be desired.
Though remarkable in many aspects, I found my tasting of this hybrid strain to fall short in its flavor. The initial draw is dense, leaving way into an overwhelming pine flavor with a chemical-flavored tail-end. The pine creates an imbalance of flavors and masks the other scents present within the flower. To have better flavor, the strain's palette of aromas needs to be able to leave more "breathing" room to mature and tame the flower's broad spectrum of tastes. The chemical flavor needs to have some sort of support or complement flavor as well.
The general flavor mellows out after several draws, leaving behind a subtle sourness in the background. Gorilla Glue's original flavor remains within consumers palette for quite some time.
The genetics of the strain are well balanced, making for a manageable hybrid that has noticeable sativa and indica effects. The high is well and manageable. This strain has more potential than it presently shows and I believe it holds higher value as a good strain that has the potential to be cross-bred in order to breed great strains.
