Pink Starburst
2/7/2018
This strain has a distinctly earthy and floral smell to it, almost like a coffee with some hints of berry or 'flowers' (just flowers in general). If you think of Starbursts while smelling it, it will in fact remind of the Pink variety, and none of the others. It's almost like the "artificial-ness" of the Starbursts coming through, but replicated using earthy, floral, and a hint of berry notes.
The taste is sort of like its smell. While the smell is dominated by its earthy and flower notes, the flavor is almost wholly earthy. The floral smell is subdued and gets replaced by an almost herbal/garden smell. Think of the smell you get from ripping off some shoots of grass and smelling your hand afterward. There are also some tiny hints of berry/citrus at the end, and it leaves behind a distinct floral impression though there's very little of that in the actual exhale.
The high has felt significantly more "clear-headed" than other hybrid strains I have tried in the past, and also produces lots of the body-high effects of an indica, no doubt from its parent indica strain. The sativa aspects really come through in molding this body-high into a high energy (relatively speaking) one. It doesn't feel like you're being bogged down, and allows you to think clearly while dismissing some stress and fatigue.
Overall, this is a solid strain. This is the type of strain I would smoke before a movie, or television show, but not so much before I want to sleep or hit the gym. Very mellow yet attentive effect.
