Appearance

Moon Duck typically develops elongated, spear-like colas with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The buds display bright lime green coloration, often with darker undertones lower on the plant, and vivid tangerine to burnt-orange pistils. Some phenotypes may exhibit faint lavender hues on sugar leaves under cooler temperatures. The trichome density is notable for a sativa-leaning strain, with abundant capitate-stalked glands.

Aroma & Flavor

The aroma of Moon Duck is marked by a lively citrus spritz, often perceived as lemon-lime, layered over pine and sweet herbal notes. Upon breaking apart the flower, a lemon-lime impression is prominent, supported by hints of pine and lemongrass. Secondary aromas can include green apple and a subtle eucalyptus coolness.

Flavors closely follow the aroma, beginning with bright citrus notes reminiscent of lime zest and sweet lemon candy. The mid-palate features pine and lemongrass, balanced by a mild herbal bitterness. The finish is clean and slightly sweet, sometimes likened to green apple or light tropical sorbet.
