The Story
“Vanilla cake sweetness over a sharp diesel funk — dessert with a fuel chaser.”
The nose is rich and gassy: vanilla cake sweetness over a sharp diesel funk, dessert with a fuel chaser. The effect is potent and balanced-leaning-relaxed — a euphoric head over a comfortable body, versatile but strong.
It's frosty and loud, a limited-drop hype strain. For gassy dessert with real horsepower, E85 lives up to the name.
