[6ixpensary] Banana Punch Hybrid Review | 4.5/5
Always been a fan of fruit flavors (pineapple, berry, apple) but this is the first time I've had anything named banana.

Even before opening you can tell is nice and whole, crystally, with a pretty nice dominant green stem. Upon opening it's not quite banana smell but more along the lines of baked goods, cookies, similar to the mimosa we had before. Looking closer you can see it's caked in crystals, long red hairs (not too many, maybe 20% red hairs) and an overall shine over what would be a green leaf. The buds are not too dense but not fluffy either, with each of our sample buds weighing about 1.5g. Well trimmed (looks like hand trimmed) as there were leaves but the ones that were left were crusty.

Cracking it open yielded a way darker color (perhaps the natural color of the bud) and you can see a clear difference between the center and the outside (night and day). The smell now comes in much more citrusy, much more tangy, a lot more scents than when it was a whole bud.

Upon grinding it up we can see just how light color the bud is. Very sticky when pinched (to hands and to itself) and yielded a VERY strong, citrus, sweet, tangy, maybe banana / tropical smell. Good to see as was a bit worried was going to be boring cookie smells throughout.

Having tried it from the vape at low temp we only got a bitter, baked goods taste which is pretty common among all strains. Once at 195 we immediately got a sweet, tropical, fruity, maybe not banana, but def a very pleasant experience, one of my favorite combinations (we've seen many time before but def nice to have). Even more so, perhaps due to the freshness of the bud, it produced a lot of vapor.

Smoking it from the pipe yielded light grey-dark ash. The smoking experience was not the smoothest, dare I say a bit harsh, but still pretty easy on the lungs, thick smoke, and satisfactory to smoke. It had big plumes of smoke which was satisfying to see.

The effects kicked in right away: euphoric, happy, blooming, sharp, bright colors, kind of dumbfounded so good for sitting back, socializing, having a good time. This kind of happy feeling is not always there when blazing so its nice to see it once in a while.

Overall really good experience, great taste, great bag appeal, if only it was a smoother smoke I would have loved it even more. It was nice to see the experience matched the name of the strain which brings me hope in finding other banana flavored bud and perhaps finding something that is closer to a 5/5.
