Hazy Gorilla by Green Work Collective
Gorilla Haze × Sativa Classics
Hazy Gorilla is a sativa-dominant strain developed by Green Work Collective, offering a balanced experience that combines uplifting cerebral effects with a degree of physical relaxation. It draws inspiration from classic Gorilla genetics, enhanced with a distinct hazy characteristic for a complex and engaging high.
Appearance
Hazy Gorilla plants typically present dense, trichome-coated buds with deep green coloration and vibrant orange pistils. The leaves often display a narrow, serrated sativa structure, and the plants can grow tall. Under ideal lighting, subtle purple hues may emerge, reminiscent of other Gorilla family strains.
Microscopic examination reveals a dense covering of trichomes, contributing to a sticky resin production. The calyxes are well-defined, indicating selective breeding for both aesthetic appeal and potency.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Hazy Gorilla is a complex bouquet, starting with fresh, earthy notes and a hint of citrus zest, often described as lemon-like. Upon exhale, subtle diesel and herbal bitterness become more apparent, with occasional undertones of vanilla.
The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, beginning with a bright, fruity citrus taste that evolves into a semisweet herbal flavor with an earthy, resinous finish. This layered taste experience has been compared to a blend of Lemon OG and Gorilla Haze.
