Red Congo (Popcorn) - AC Medical - Dec 2020 (Preview)
Famed Red Congo popcorn at last =) Like many others, I've heard lots about this cut and have actually wanted to try full-sized RC for a while, but was too slow this time around and was happy for fresh popcorn instead About half arrived as slightly leafy small nugs, which was a nice surprise, while the other half arrived as scraggly, irregular popcorn with much more trim. It was definitely on the dryer side (I imagine less care goes into harvesting/curing/storing popcorn) but this Red Congo (popcorn) has a surprisingly lemony, skunky sweetness in the jar that is quite enjoyable. Long, brightly orange pistils and intact trichome gland heads can be seen throughout (as well as the ample trim) Have enjoyed this more than I thought I would going into it (9 Enjoyment score in our Database scale) - definitely a very tasty cut of RC relative to prior batches and other Congo crosses I've enjoyed before, with some harshness being the main drawback. Its aroma + flavours are the strong point, despite the (sort of expected) harshness - would describe the experience as a chemmy, skunky sweetness matched by a rich, gassy pungency early, then it becomes a lemony, earthy sweetness with a grainy, sweetly spicy finish Pleasantly surprised by the capable potency of these popcorn nugs (8 Potency score in our Database scale) and would describe Red Congo as an uplifting daytimer with some fog and a mild comedown I don't typically comment on value, as everyone's options and needs differ greatly, but ACM asked specifically, so would say this Red Congo (popcorn) is a solid value, as a surprisingly potent and tasty option for someone looking for a true sativa or reliable daytime strain that doesn't break the bank as much Expected 416 Database Score: 85-88 AAA
