Holy Mountain ICC

Hello, everyone! Today, I'm reviewing Holy Mountain's Ice Cream Cake, or as we call it in Canada, ICC.

Recently, I reposted some of my older reviews, some of the earliest ones I wrote on this website. Some were for Organigram's Edison products, and back then, I had some valid reasons to be critical. Both the cannabis quality and their genetics left much to be desired. They've made significant improvements since then. They've introduced new genetics, and I've had a couple positive experiences with their economically priced cannabis since.

I'd like to talk a bit more about their product structure. They offer fairly inexpensive 3.5-gram offerings, and if you enjoy those, you have the option to buy them by the ounce at an even more affordable rate. From my perspective, these ounces often come out cheaper than many of the competing legacy offerings of mid-road quality. Additionally, I happen to know someone who really likes this Ice Cream Cake, so I decided to give it a try with a small bag, with the possibility of getting a larger bag later if I enjoy it.

Lineage

Ice Cream Cake is bred by Seed Junky and is a cross of Wedding Cake and Gelato #33.

Visuals

There are a few noticeable visual detractions with this batch. It appears to be quite stemmy with an open structure throughout. While there are some buds that meet the mark, most of them appear larfy and lacking in proper development.

Feel

The feel of the product is fine, and it grinds very fluffy.

Scents

The scent is sweet on the frontage with a noticeable pine kick that adds a fierce aspect. It has some dimension to it, though it's not particularly loud; it's certainly present.

Taste

The taste is on-point but doesn't necessarily wow. It presents as a mixture of dirty icing with fresh pine notes combined with some earthy pine undertones. While it may lack a strong finish and overall pronounced flavour, it is free of any negative tastes.

Summary

In a nutshell, this product looks bad but it ended up just alright.

The real issue lies in the competition. I've reviewed products within a buck or two of this price point, and in terms of quality, they far surpass this one. Whether it's Pure SunFarms Knockout, Pure SunFarms Area 51, or even Tribal Cuban Linx, which are priced similarly, they all outperform this Holy Mountain product.
