Strawberry Punch #2 - Fresh Squeeze x Symbiotic Genetics
I’ve heard a lot of people clown on Fresh Squeeze for being table scraps, but one of the best things I had in 2023 was their Key Lime Pie that was collab with Flying O’ Farms, which had incredible terps and killer potency. This jar also excited me quite a bit when I saw it when it debuted at the end of last year part because of the bisexual lighting motif on the label but also because Symbiotic has created some legendary strains including Mimosa. This seems to be a hybrid with their Purple Punch F2 x Strawguava, and the hybrid makes for a formidable smoke. The aroma is mostly on the fermented strawberry side, but the Punch gives it a little bit more fragrant gas that takes a bit of the astringency off the nose. This hits the palate as almost a berry Fintstones vitamin flavor, and is quite saturated. Potency is reasonably with a solid slump and sedation effect, butit also has quite the crash on the end of the effect. Overall, this is solid flavor and and very clean offering from Fresh Squeeze, but like all these bigger Cali brands the price tag is a little bit expensive. This definitely smokes better than the “table scraps” claim, and you wouldn’t know it was a second tier brand for WCA unless you previously had that inside information.
