Mac x Cereal Milk - Gorilla Jane - Late Feb 2023
These medium size buds had a nice bag appeal with range of colours from mint green to dark purple, and were heavily caked by amber trichomes giving a lustrous finish on the appearance. Along with a good cure and moisture content, buds were considerably sticky when breaking apart. Structure however was more spongy and fluffy, little leafy in composition as well. The grounded herb was sparse, airy, and loose. The nose was milky creamy with an overtone of spicy citrus and pine, while there were undertones of funk, earthiness, and very faint burnt rubber, possibly stemming from the lineage in Cereal Milk. Flavour transition was not bad, was creamy and nutty throughout, and although some notes didn't fully translate, the overall flavour was still present. Smoke quality was just good enough. Joints combusted rather quickly but was greasy and had no problems staying ignited. It was preferably smooth for the most part, only getting a little rough coming down to the end. Ash appeared fluffy at times burning salt and pepper all the way through. The effects are moderate and well balanced, full bodied that's not overwhelming making for a suitable daytime smoke. There was some burnout for me coming down at the end, but this is something I always notice with Mac or Mac crosses. My personal grading of this batch would be AAA+ based on factors mentioned above. I would class this as a budget smoke, perfect if you're looking to save while not compromising too much on quality. At $109 per oz it's good value for what it is. Rating: 7.4/10
