Did you try it?
Aroma
Flavour
“Pungent fuel and fruit, and a long, functional lift.”
It smells the way its name promises: pungent diesel first, with tropical fruit and wood behind it, and the taste follows. The high is uplifting and euphoric, long-lasting and social, with a light, functional body feel underneath rather than a crash.

Lineage confidence: medium — independent of how well-documented the strain itself is.
The record above is the cultivar. Each grower's jar is its own plant — here is how their lots measure, from lab panels New York menus print.

Amherst Sour Diesel is classified as sativa in the SŌMA catalog. These labels are a loose shorthand rather than a precise prediction of effect; studies find they do not reliably track a plant's genetics or chemistry.
By sensory profile, the closest strains in the SŌMA catalog include Sour Candy, ATF and Bruce Banner. SŌMA matches on aroma, flavour and effect rather than name alone.
