Strain Name: Island Pink

Strain Fidelity: Never had ’Island’ specifically, but it definitely has that signature Pink Kush taste with a bit of sweetness

Size of buds: N/A hard to evaluate with a gram sample, but the sample was a good sized bud with a smaller one. Didn’t weight but looked over 1g.

Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 Leaving asside the fact it had been squished in transport, the product has very nice colors, a decent trim and it was sticky as hell, still fairly fresh, good stuff

Cure & Humidity: 8/10 Strong smell when broken up, sticky, still has some freshness.

Smell Intensity: 8/10 The bag smell itself wasn’t crazy, but once broken up it released it’s strong pink aroma. Very nice.

Harshness vs Smoothness: 7/10 Passable, it’s a tiny bit harsh but not too bad

Burn: 4/10 Black as night on the outside, grey in the center. It kept it’s light and burned fairly well despite this, but that outside color is concerning.

Taste Intensity: 4/10 Mostly tastes like smoke, seems like most of the terps are overwhelmed by this. Can’t say it was an enjoyable smoke.

Taste Complexity: 2/10 Pretty much can’t taste any of it, it’s all smoke/burn taste. Little that gets through is classic pink with a hint of sweetness.

Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Competent buzz, but didn’t hit me like a pink usually does.

Price: 150$/OZ

Value: I’ve had better 99ers smokewise, but the bag appeal and other aspects aren’t typical for that price range. I honestly would not buy this whatever the price because of burn/taste.

’A’ Scale Rating: AAA-

Strain Name: Pineapple Express

Strain Fidelity: 9/10 While the bag smell was lacking, once broken up I’ve recognized classic PE

Size of buds: 8/10 Two decent sized buds. Didn’t weight it but it looked like 1g buds.

Bag Appeal: 7/10 Looks real nice visually, but the dryness and lack of smell out of the bag is a letdown. First time I see purple in PE.

Cure & Humidity: 5/10 Very dry, crunchy. The aroma is still present but muted.

Smell Intensity: 6/10 Out of the bag I didn’t even recognize the signature smell of PE, but once broken up it comes out clearly. That said, this stuff is dry to the core, so the smell is very muted even broken up.

Harshness vs Smoothness: 8/10 Fairly smooth, expected worse given the dryness.

Burn: 8/10 More salt than pepper, descent burn.

Taste Intensity: 7/10 Passable, I can taste classic PE through the smoke but it’s fairly weak.

Taste Complexity: 7/10 Pineapple is usually a mix of spicy/pine/sweet for me, this one lacks in the pine/spicy department a bit. Really not bad, but not amazing for PE.

Buzz Intensity: 8/10 It’s not the strongest of buzz, like any PE, but it’s a really cool hybrid buzz. It’s one of those strains that never disapoints, the buzz is fairly strong but not sleepy/couch locky.

Price: 100$/OZ

Value: 10/10 Very fair price

’A’ Scale Rating: AAA-

Strain Name: Grand Daddy Purple

Strain Fidelity: 10/10 Classic GDP

Size of buds: 7/10 Nothing crazy but decent

Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 Looks good. Smells amazing, bit sticky, still fresh, nice

Cure & Humidity: 9/10 Almost perfect

Smell Intensity: 9/10 This was the smelliest sample of the lot, very nice aroma out of the bag and very odorant once busted up, stank up the room

Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 Smooth as silk, almost no smoke taste, mouthful of terps

Burn: 9/10 I’ve seen whiter, but this was almost perfect, light grey smoke

Taste Intensity: 9/10 Very tasty

Taste Complexity: 8/10 It’s a fairly classic Kush taste with a bit of sweetness to it. I’m usually not a huge fan of kush strains but this one is the kind I like.

Buzz Intensity: 7.5/10 Never had strong GDP and this one doesn’t stand out either, a nice indica buzz but not a very strong buzz.

Price: 140/OZ

Value: 10/10 Very good for the price! This ain’t craft, but it’s as good as it gets otherwise. I’ve seen a lot of MOMs sell this kind of stuff 200+

’A’ Scale Rating: AAA+/AAAA- having a hard time drawing the line on this one.

Strain Name: East Coast Alien

Strain Fidelity: Never had this strain before, seems like a mix of Alien and a pheno of Sour Diesel according to what I can find

Size of buds: 7/10 Sample was 2 smallish buds

Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 This is some weird looking weed, but it’s fairly caked. Smell is hard to describe, mostly floral, doesn’t remind me of any strain I know.

Cure & Humidity: 6/10 Fairly dry, not much smell even broken up.

Smell Intensity: 6/10 Not much bag smell, not much smell broken up either

Harshness vs Smoothness: 6.5/10 Wasn’t smooth, but it overly harsh either.

Burn: 6/10 Burned pretty dark, not as dark as the Island Pink, but not very nice.

Taste Intensity: 6/10 Smoke dominates the taste, but there are some terps coming through. Mostly floral, hard to describe.

Taste Complexity: 5/10 Not much going on

Buzz Intensity: 5/10 Weak sativa effects, it’s supposed to be 30% indica and I’m not feeling it at all.

Price: 220/OZ

Value: Wouldn’t pay 100$/OZ for this, not sure how it’s so expensive.

’A’ Scale Rating: AA to me, listed as AAA

Strain Name: Sunset Sherbet Live Resin

Strain Fidelity: I had Sunset Sherbet a few times as flower, but they were pretty shit batches, so I can’t really comment.

Size of buds: N/A

Bag Appeal: 10/10 Obviously CRC. That aside, the smell is INSANE and the texture is the weirdest I’ve ever seen. It’s like tiny grains but with the sligthest stickyness. It came as a kind of waffer that stands on it’s own, but as soon as you touch it with a dab tool it breaks apart. Amazing looks.

Cure & Humidity: N/A

Smell Intensity: 10/10 This stuff is very odorant and has a crazy aroma. It really reminds me of Orange Creamsicles, a clear very fresh and sharp taste of orange, smoothed by a creamy sweetness. It’s insane to think cannabis can taste so good.

Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 Very smooth, I usually choke a lot on extracts and this is some of the smoothest I’ve had.

Burn: N/A

Taste Intensity: 10/10 Strong taste

Taste Complexity: 9/10 Very good balance between fresh oranges/citrus, tart, creamy and sweet. Absolutely nothing else to taint it, it’s a very clean taste.

Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Not the heaviest hitter, but decent punch.

Price: 40/g

Value: Well worth the price.

’A’ Scale Rating: AAAA

Notes: The color is a bit darker than how it came through in the picture. The tint is like a very light tan, but it came out straight white on the pic. I’m not a fan of CRC products in general, but this shit caught me by surprise. I did not do an ISO test, but it left absolutely no residue in my bong so it looks legit.

Incentive for Customers: N/A

Incentive for Review: Samples were offered free for an unbiased review.

Notes: There were some extra goodies I didn’t bother reviewing, a preroll, a 1 hitter contraption (pre-loaded) some papers, etc. Also, their site is slow as fuck, not sure why, but it’s been consistently slow on all connections since they first approached me a few months ago.See More

**Strain Name:** Granddaddy Purple

**Bag Appeal:** Pretty buds. Nicely caked and beautiful purple hues. Humidity is on point.

**Smell:** A little pine, some berries and definitely a lot of sweetness. Once ground up the smell reminds me of strawberry cereals with a piney touch.
...
**Burn:** Light gray to white.

**Taste:** Very smooth on the hit. Grapy and sweet. Real berries influence in this strain.

**Buzz:** Great indica high. Feel relaxed and I’m getting easily distracted.

**Price:** $140/oz

**Value:** 10/10 - $8/g, $140/oz, definitely competing with some so called quads I’ve smoked.

**’A’ Scale Rating:** AAA+ to AAAA-

**Overall rating out of 10:** 9.2/10 - This is a win for me. Been a while since I had a nice Granddaddy Purple and I was very pleased with that one. Nice terps, nice humidity, nice buzz, nice price !See More

**Strain Name:** East Coast Alien

**Bag Appeal:** Very dense/hard and nicely caked and sticky buds. Pleasant light green with nice touch of orange. Humidity is just as good as others strain I’ve had from them; they seem to really care about that.

**Smell:** First thing I thought ...when opening the bag was: bubblegum. It smells sweet with a gassy diesel background.

**Burn:** Light salt and pepper going on white.

**Taste:** Couldn’t taste anything in particular. Maybe a little gas. Not very tasty.

**Buzz:** This is a sativa dominant strain that has a good hit.

**Price:** $220/oz

**Value:** 6/10 - Compared to the other strains I’ve tried from them, I think that one is overpriced. It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but I prefered some cheaper options they have.

**’A’ Scale Rating:** AAA

**Overall rating out of 10:** 7.5/10 - I would like to rate that strain higher because it looks good and smells unique but the taste was not really there and I think there are way better value on their website for the price.See More

**Strain Name:** Pineapple Express

**Bag Appeal:** Nicely shaped fat nugs. The humidity is also good on that one. Some cakiness and beautiful colors. Looks great.

**Smell:** Very sweet pineapple smell with a piney background. Not very strong, gotta get kinda close to smell it corre...ctly but still a good terp complexity.

**Burn:** Snow white ash.

**Taste:** Pineapple pineapple pineapple. Very fruity with some gassiness. Hits smooth.

**Buzz:** Smooth sativa high. Doesn’t hit that hard.

**Price:** $100/oz

**Value:** 10/10 - A hundred bucks for an oz with possibility to get a half pound for $700. Not the strongest high but for that price ? Worth it.

**’A’ Scale Rating:** AAA

**Overall rating out of 10:** 8/10 - That strain is rated AA on their website and I can say they seem to have high standards. Considering the price, the bag appeal, the taste and how it burns it’s a pretty decent pick.See More

**Strain Name:** Island Pink

**Bag Appeal:** Fat dense nugs coated of trichomes. Colors are beautiful; different shades of green with some purple. A little bit leafy and unfortunately a little bit squished probably due to the packaging. Humidity is perfect and nugs are very sticky.

...>**Smell:** Very strong smell. Pungent and skunky from far but gets more floral as you get closer.

**Burn:** Light salt and pepper.

**Taste:** Overwhelming pungent gassiness and skunkiness on the exhale. Very pleasant and strong taste.

**Buzz:** This is an indica (80%) dominant strain and the high is there. The potency would make a newbie uncomfortable. I’m in my zone!

**Price:** $150/oz

**Value:** For the oz you are catching up to real quad oz price (depending on your plugs). This is still worth it even though it could burn a little bit better. You can get the LBS for $1700 which is really worth it.

**’A’ Scale Rating:** AAA+

**Overall rating out of 10:** 8.8/10 - Very nice strain in my opinion and rated accordingly on their website. Bulk options are interesting. The fact that the nugs were squished is also a little downside in my rating as it affected trichomes (bag appeal).See More
