Ice Cream Cake is one of my top strains of all time as it combines the lovely Wedding Cake and Gelato 33. This was my first time trying Hierba's ICC which arrived looking like it was dipped in trichomes. Very frosty and sticky, with a firm, dense bud structure and amazing cure. Cracking a bud apart reveals how caked this stuff really is, looking like a lit city skyline. Mainly light green in appearance, with purple-tinged sugar leaves and peach-orange coloured pistils. Just happens to be slightly on the leafy side.
If I were to be blindfolded and someone held this ICC under my nose and told me to guess what it was, I would immediately start thinking of a pastry or baked good of sorts rather than weed. Creamy, sweet aromas of cake and dough, with soft citrusy-lime undertones. I just wish it all translated over when smoked. Don't get me wrong, it was still decent tasting but didn't have the same pronounced characteristics as the smell. The flavour was more earthy, nutty and sweet, but after exhaling you can taste the citrus and doughy subtleties on the tongue. Smoked very smooth and produced a clean, light ash.
Absolutely loved the high on this one and I found it to be perfect for what I look for in an afternoon/evening smoke. A potent mix of blissful relaxation, combined with an all out stoned, buzzing head high. I don't know what it is about dessert strains but they all make me talk a whole lot more than usual too and this one was no different. Very uplifting until it starts to wear out, allowing for the indica side to take over and leave you feeling spent for the day.
