Appearance

Some phenotypes can display green and purple marbling, especially under cooler growing conditions, due to anthocyanin expression.

Expect hints of tropical fruit, citrus, and sometimes a subtle diesel or pine undertone. The flavor often follows suit, with a smooth, sugary fruit inhale that transitions to a creamy, doughy, and slightly peppery finish on the exhale. Lingering sweetness and a pastry-like aftertaste are commonly reported.
