Death Master Ultra - Gorilla Jane - Feb 2023
Lineage: Death Bubba x MKU Been on the search for some good gas, pinks, and heavy indicas as of recently. I've had Gorilla Jane on my radar for quite some time, and with their recent drops I decided to give em a try. The bag appeal was pretty good. I was greeted by fresh, dense, medium sized buds, though not too compact, retaining its shape after compression. Buds appeared to be hand trimmed, very sticky and resinous with a solid cure, easily gumming my fingers and grinder. The combination of greens, purple, and orange, topped off by a fair amount of milky crystal trichomes were aesthetically pleasing. The terps are indeed loud with strong, dank, skunky fuel and pine aromas followed by hints of floral, lemon citrus, and earthy notes. When breaking buds apart or compressing the smell of gas and pine intensifies. Flavour transitioned nicely, not mild but rather pronounced as I was able to distinguish individual notes. Was also a bit peppery on inhale, but ended smoothly with some floral and earthiness. Smoke quality gets a respectable pass. It burned greasy intermittently, never went out, and combusted slowly. It was preferably smooth for a pungent smoke, and never once had me coughing. Ash was light grey, but at times did burn a little hot. Certainly a heavy hitter, this is one to save for end of day when there's nothing left to do. I felt instantly happy being in great spirits, a bit giggly at times, all during a floaty heady haze. Not long after physical effects became dominant, transcending into heavy couch lock and relaxation, as my entire body felt soothed and pain free, ultimately leading to a great night's sleep. It was a good first experience, happy I had made the decision to give these guys a try. They seem to have some decent gas and so far I've had no issues with this drop, except for the rare occurrences when the ash burned hot. Overall, it gets my recommendation especially if buying an oz or more, as the value greatly increases at that point. Rating: 8.3/10
