Background
The story
“Sharp gas and pepper-spice over an earthy, herbal base.”
The nose is pungent: sharp gas and pepper-spice over an earthy, herbal base. The effect is heavy and relaxing — a euphoric head sinking into a sedating body, firmly an evening strain.
It's frosty, potent and loud. For a spicy, gassy indica-leaning cut off the dessert path, Hot Sauce brings the heat.
