Watermelon, grape and a hashy edge

Leafly describes a distinct fruity watermelon flavour, reminiscent of grape with hashy undertones, and tags sweet, tropical and tree fruit flavours. Some Leafly reviewers find the taste more tropical or generally fruity than watermelon.

AllBud describes the flavour as fresh, sweet watermelon and sugary fruit, and the aroma as slightly skunky, with a tropical sweet smell that is a little hashy and fruity. It tags the flavour fruity, grape, herbal, sweet and tropical, and the aroma dank, fruity, pungent and tropical.

Pale green buds with pink undertones

AllBud pictures fluffy, pale green buds with vivid pink undertones; bright orange hairs run through them, and tiny frosty white trichomes cover the surface.
