Lemon Cherry Gelato (CE) - Coastal Wild Fire - August 2021
Lemon Cherry Gelato (Sunset Sherbert x Girl Scout Cookies x unknown) TL;DR: Lemon Cherry Gelato is an excellent strain with a superb flavour and smell that is true to its name. This burns very well and has a pleasant, potent high. I'm a bit bummed about paying so much for smalls but my overall enjoyment is great enough to overlook that as it's a winner otherwise. Too long; still read: This Lemon Cherry Gelato from Coastal Wildfire was listed as being by CE Home Office. I've never had CE flower before and have been digging Gelato flavours lately so I decided to order a half ounce of this intriguing strain. I received this can yesterday along with a half of the Animal Sherbert (which I'll review later). My first impression after opening the can was honestly disappointment because my entire can was small nugs. I've bought half ounces of smalls from Stashbox for $80 that were comparable. Considering I paid $130 and there was no mention of smalls, I was a bit let down. The nugs are largely all the size of fat cherries, a pretty mix of dark green and purple and some prominent pistils. The buds are fairly well covered in trichomes. Slightly dry to the touch with a good squish and good moisture level when busted up. After getting past my initial reaction and rolling up a doob, I was pleased to find out that all other aspects of this bud are top-shelf. The smell and taste are both quite strong and are exactly what you'd expect from a strain named Lemon Cherry Gelato. The smell has a lemony, sweet dough quality to it mixed with a subtle cherry. The flavour...the flavour is huge. As soon as I tasted this, I stopped caring about anything else. The taste is similar to the smell with a tasty blend of cherry, lemon, and sweet gelato. It honestly reminds me of eating a rocket pop (popsicle). I'm a big fan of the high with this strain. The hybrid effects are, to me, an ideal mix of being quite relaxing and also noticeably uplifting. This one burns nice and slow with nearly-white ash and a good oil ring. I could feel the high settling in behind my eyes by the time I was 2/3 of the way through the joint I smoked this morning. There is zero anxiety here, only good vibes and a fairly potent high that's still hanging around 2.5 hours later. This comes across to me as suitable for smoking at any time of the day. Overall, I don't feel that this was good value for the money but there's little doubt that this bud is of high quality. With flavour for days and a pleasant stoning to go with it, Lemon Cherry Gelato is a worthwhile strain, just maybe at a better price or with nicer nugs.
