The flowers may display a color palette ranging from deep green to olive, occasionally showing purple hues under specific temperature conditions. Pistils are often a vibrant tangerine or copper. The bud structure often resembles OG-style spears, complemented by tight secondary clusters, and features a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio that facilitates trimming.

The aroma is characterized by an initial wave of mint and kush, underscored by notes of lemon and sweet cream. Upon grinding, deeper scents of cookie dough and vanilla emerge, mingling with the classic OG gas and pepper undertones. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, starting with a cool mint that transitions into lemon zest and creamy sweetness, finishing with a peppery OG essence. Exhales can carry a mentholated quality.
