This is my second review for WestCoastReleaf products. You can see my previous review there: https://canadianmom.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6726
The first review was more concentrate oriented, this one is reviewing mostly flowers (with a bonus!).
(I won't go through the whole MOM review, you can refer to my previous review)
WestCoastReleaf
Overall rating out of 10: 9/10 - Great experience. Communication was very good as usual. Lot of great products with some goodies (rolling paper/tips).
Products / Photos:
Strain Name: Granddaddy Purple
Bag Appeal: Pretty buds. Nicely caked and beautiful purple hues. Humidity is on point.
Smell: A little pine, some berries and definitely a lot of sweetness. Once ground up the smell reminds me of Special K strawberry cereals with a piney touch.
Burn: Light gray to white.
Taste: Very smooth on the hit. Grapy and sweet. Real berries influence in this strain.
Buzz: Great indica high. Feel relaxed and I'm getting easily distracted.
Price: $140/oz
Value: $8/g, $140/oz, definitely competing with some so called quads I've smoked.
"A" Scale Rating: AAA+ to AAAA-
Overall rating out of 10: 9.2/10 - This is a win for me. Been a while since I had a nice Granddaddy Purple and I was very pleased with that one. Nice terps, nice humidity, nice buzz, nice price !
Strain Name: Island Pink
Bag Appeal: Fat dense nugs coated of trichomes. Colors are beautiful; different shades of green with some purple. A little bit leafy and unfortunately a little bit squished probably due to the packaging. Humidity is perfect and nugs are very sticky.
Smell: Very strong smell. Pungent and skunky from far but gets more floral as you get closer.
Burn: Light salt and pepper.
Taste: Overwhelming pungent gassiness and skunkiness on the exhale. Very pleasant and strong taste.
Buzz: This is an indica (80%) dominant strain and the high is there. The potency would make a newbie uncomfortable. I'm in my zone!
Price: $150/oz
Value: For the oz you are catching up to real quad oz price (depending on your plugs). This is still worth it even though it could burn a little bit better. You can get the LBS for $1700 which is really worth it.
"A" Scale Rating: AAA+
Overall rating out of 10: 8.8/10 - Very nice strain in my opinion and rated accordingly on their website. Bulk options are interesting. The fact that the nugs were squished is also a little downside in my rating as it affected trichomes (bag appeal).
Strain Name: Pineapple Express
Bag Appeal: Nicely shaped fat nugs. The humidity is also good on that one. Some cakiness and beautiful colors. Looks great.
Smell: Very sweet pineapple smell with a piney background. Not very strong, gotta get kinda close to smell it correctly but still a good terp complexity.
Burn: Snow white ash.
Taste: Pineapple pineapple pineapple. Very fruity with some gassiness. Hits smooth.
Buzz: Smooth sativa high. Doesn't hit that hard.
Price: $100/oz
Value: A hundred bucks for an oz with possibility to get a half pound for $700. Not the strongest high but for that price ? Worth it.
"A" Scale Rating: AAA
Overall rating out of 10: 8/10 - That strain is rated AA on their website and I can say they seem to have high standards. Considering the price, the bag appeal, the taste and how it burns it's a pretty decent pick.
Strain Name: East Coast Alien
Bag Appeal: Very dense/hard and nicely caked and sticky buds. Pleasant light green with nice touch of orange. Humidity is just as good as others strain I've had from them; they seem to really care about that.
Smell: First thing I thought when opening the bag was: bubblegum. It smells sweet with a gassy diesel background.
Burn: Light salt and pepper going on white.
Taste: Couldn't taste anything in particular. Maybe a little gas. Not very tasty.
Buzz: This is a sativa dominant strain that has a good hit.
Price: $220/oz
Value: Compared to the other strains I've tried from them, I think that one is overpriced. It's good, don't get me wrong, but I prefered some cheaper options they have.
"A" Scale Rating: AAA
Overall rating out of 10: 7.5/10 - I would like to rate that strain higher because it looks good and smells unique but the taste was not really there and I think there are way better value on their website for the price.
Strain Name: Sunset Sherbert (Live Resin)
Bag Appeal: The color, that sugary texture, that smell, everything is very appealing. Almost drooling. "Almost".
Smell: Very lemony/citrusy. Very enjoyable. I keep opening the jar just to smell it.
Burn: Left no residue.
Taste: Just like the smell, very citrusy. Limonene is very intense in this strain. It's delicious but a lil bit harsh.
Buzz: Relaxing/sedating indica high. For a moment I forgot I was writing a review and just kept smelling the jar.
Price: $40/g ($600/oz)
Value: Good bang for the buck for sure.
"A" Scale Rating: AAA+
Overall rating out of 10: 9.2/10 - It is very terpy, as you would expect for a good live resin, and the texture is just on point. Great potency. Could be CRC but seems to be perfectly clean, can't know for sure. I'm not reviewing the making process but the end product. I'm curious to see their other $40/g live resin.
Strain Name: One Hitter filled with a mix of Lindsay OG bubble hash and Rockstar flower.
Bag Appeal: Pretty casual small one hitter with a cap. Looks good with the "LOCK-N-LOAD" logo.
Smell: Little hashy smell coming off. Not much.
Burn: Had a few hits out of the one hitter. Burned good.
Taste: Mostly harshness, not much taste to it. Had to smoke it using the chillum hand method.
Buzz: Got me high but it was not that pleasant to get there as it was kinda harsh to smoke.
Price: $7 (on sale for $4.50 at the time of the review)
Value: $4.50 for a glass one hitter with a cap.. filled.. I mean it's pretty good. Kind of thing I'd add to my cart just for the giggles at that price.
"A" Scale Rating: N/A
Overall rating out of 10: 6/10 - It's a one hitter.. no big deal. It comes pre filled with so the material is mostly dry and harsh. The glass one hitter seems to be OK quality and thickness.
Thanks again WestCoastReleaf for that pack!
