-ness East Coast Brunch

Hey everybody, we are reviewing package of -ness East Coast Brunch today.

I purchased this in August 2023 from Value Buds when I was buying the Silky Continental Crossbow product and this kind of ended up stealing the show. Not only does it have interesting olfaction. It also came out of the package looking pretty good. I wouldn’t call it a hit, but it sure isn’t a miss. It ends up being a very nice, enjoyable little song. Let me walk you through it.

This review summarizes the qualitative observations I made while using this product. Afterward, we compare the price, content, and package length of this particular purchase with the averages we're monitoring for all purchases. Lastly, we examine the sales and market figures we're tracking for this product over time.

Visuals

The visuals were pretty standard with a few detractions, and also a few positive features. Colouring remains in the neutral, green tones, no purple, but you do get good trichome coverage. Bud size ranges from very good to popcorn, but I was happy with the composition. I received a large bud that was probably at least 2 g size and the popcorn was limited to five or so pieces.

Feel

It felt good. I would call it fresh.

Smell

Since are a fairly unassuming mix of gas and cream, it comes off, well blended nearly homogenous.

Taste

Tastes are gassy pine, twisted up with mint, ginger and vanilla followed by a dry earth mix that touches back to the gas. The leave is also earthy, and dry, somewhat like champagne, which is quite sticky and tends to pull the character away from the sweet sides.

Summary

In the summary, this offering isn't going to light your world on fire, but it sure doesn't slouch. The flavour profile has a bit of a twist away from your typical cream and gas with earth tastes, but it’s not so much of a departure where it’s something new. That could be good or bad depending on, what you’re looking for.

Flavour character stays in the main stream enough to have familiarity, but comes with a bit of a different aroma that it might feel like something new. I’m just not sure how far that actually goes, you might have to be looking for it or else the slight difference will fade in with everything else. Either way, whether it meets your flavour or not, it likely meets your price point. So it’s nice to chew the fat about the nuances in the flavour profile, I can tell you this likely hits most of the critical elements that makes for a good purchase.
