Stone Fruit - Kootenay Craft - Jan 2020 (Preview)

/u/416strains

Highly resinous indica with happy, relaxing effects and sweet gassy/fruity/cake flavours.. Wasn't expecting to like it (from the generic name) but very glad to have gotten more as one of our current faves. Would describe its aroma in the jar as a pungent, earthy sweet musk with hints of fruit/berries and vanilla. Quality: 9-9.5/10 Value: 7.5/10 (would've been 9 if we had ordered a couple of days earlier, the way we normally would with their menu launch promos.. but a spontaneous holiday order that we were very pleased with)

Mad Caps - Kootenay Craft - Jan 2020 (Preview)

/u/416strains

Liking it so far, would say it's an indica-leaning hybrid that offers a functional stone with a mild cerebral buzz and some physical relief as well. 'Fresh' aroma of earthy citrus/fruit, notes of minty sweetness when ground.. Tastes very much like how it smells, pleasant earthy, fruity flavours with berry + fuel on the back end. Quality: 9/10 Value: 7/10 (would've been 8.5 if we had ordered a couple of days earlier, the way we normally would with their menu launch promos.. but a spontaneous holiday order that we were very pleased with)

Stone Fruit - Kootenay Craft - Dec 2019 (Preview)

/u/416strains

Glad to finally have a decent photo of this, after a few tries haha. A mystery strain that I def overlooked at first because of the super generic name, but this is a happy little indica with soothing/relaxing effects and sweet gassy/fruity/cake flavours.. Really liking it more than I would've expected to, would describe its aroma in the jar as a pungent, earthy sweet musk with hints of fruit and vanilla. Immediately ordered a bunch more of this after trying this last weekend, much love to one of our favourite sources for usually being very on point with fun monthly strain releases like this. Merry Christmas everyone
