Appearance

Gorilla Gohan typically produces dense, compact buds with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, often described as spade or golf-ball shaped. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance, with pistils that mature from vivid orange to copper hues. Its short to medium internodal spacing contributes to uniform, weighty colas, and minimal sugar leaves aid in faster trimming.

Aroma & Flavor

The aroma of Gorilla Gohan is complex, featuring a blend of earthy pine and soil notes underpinned by a chem-diesel character, often with a subtle sweetness. A cured aroma may reveal undertones of cocoa or mocha. The flavor profile follows suit, opening with diesel and pine, transitioning to darker chocolate and woody notes, with a lingering peppery finish.
