Tuck Shop Purple Fuel

Hey thanks for joining me today, we're looking at Purple Fuel from Tuck Shop and this is sold in their packs called "The Zip".

Initial Thoughts

I've been tracking cannabis trends on Bud Trendz, which often focuses on Ontario. This has made it challenging to find trending products locally in Alberta. So, when Tuck Shop’s Purple Fuel appeared on Bud Trendz as the number one trending strain, I was intrigued. Although I had hoped to find Ghost OG at the store, I was willing to try Purple Fuel.

Visuals

The Purple Fuel buds make a good first impression. They are well-trimmed, with minimal petiole and discolored stems. The majority of the buds are of good size, with a few medium-sized pieces. There were some small bits and dust, which is typical for this package size. Overall, the visual quality is impressive and leaves little to complain about.

Aroma and Taste

The flavor profile of Purple Fuel is distinctive and well-balanced. The initial taste presents a strong pine frontage, followed by a soapy undertone. There’s depth to the woody flavors, which become dank towards the lower end of the profile. This combination creates a well-pronounced and enjoyable taste experience.
