The Story
“Orange and citrus over a skunky, earthy base, clean and classic.”
The nose is bright and sweet: orange and citrus over a skunky, earthy base, clean and classic. The effect is balanced and happy — an uplifting, mood-lifting high with a relaxed body, a versatile all-rounder.
It's moderate and dependable, an old-school flavour-forward skunk. For a sweet citrus-skunk classic, Orange Bud has endured for decades.
