Day 2 Part 1

Get up, breakfast and shower, smoke a little super cream then on the tram to:

Voyagers
1g LA Con E15 – no pic (I did get one on my second purchase) – lovely thick kushy flavour, sleepy body stone. 9+/10
1g Kosher Kush E15 – not quite as good as it can be but still lovely – tangy taste and strong buzz. 9/10


1g Testing Tuesday E10 – nothing on the last two TT's I had – it was bit bland.

Wandered over to

Paradox – sat with a milkshake enjoying the morning summer air.
2g 100% Sativa E30 – smoked a little in Paradox and the rest the next AM. Great morning smoke.



Brooje Bert – obligatory blt picked up take away

Dampkring - its allways bloody packed in here! had to wait about 20mins to get to the front - and when I saw someone ahead order a few g's of Sensabile and there didn't look like there was much left my heart sank. But when I was next to be served a guy dropped off a delivery restock! happy days! had a look at 4 or 5 skunks when he was reloading them (all fairly plain).
2g Sensabile E30 – soft sticky golden hash, not quite as gooey as the SC. Not as uppy buzzy high either – this had a more sedated couch lock. 9+/10



0.5g Crerez Hilton E7 – taste was quite nice but the ash wasn’t very clean.



Part 2 Flevo Park to come soon..............

Thanks for sharing your experiencies as usual,Pengaldinho!

As I'm most probably going for a short spontaneous trip at one point this week(very limited time):

Did you check out coffeeshop Gouden Boon? Read you mentioning it elsewhere. If not I'd like to give it a go as a new shop every now and then is nice(not expecting to find the holy grail of hashish there though , will definitely report back).

Curious to try some moroccan ice after some years but forgot on which menu I spotted it(about 20€ I think). Can you help? Anyone?

Keep on bringing on the good stuff !

KatSu had it 2 yearS ago and it was fucking tasty and strong, think was 1g for 10e and 2.4 for 20e. highly recommended if they still have it.

No I have not yet made it to Gouden Boon I had intended to on my trip before last but didn't get round to it.

This trip was very short and i didn't have time to try lots of different things, I just wanted the good stuff straight away so went with the super cream for my staple smoke - De Graal had an extensive and interesting looking hash selection but i didnt have time to go through it.

As for the Moroccan Ice - Katsu used to have it on the menu but I would recommend the Aslama from Bushdoctor @ E25/g - review/pics to come. or the Lemon Haze Moroc @ E20/g - is also an ice.

awesome report man! nice!!! I like your pics... great job...

what do you think of the Rifman Sensabile? I like it more than the special cream
from de Graal. Especially the batch from one week ago was outstanding... the quality
of Sensabile is allways nice but this time it comes near to the Habibi from years ago

The Budtender told me (he knows me^^) that this time it´s an outstandig batch. By the
way the Dealers there are super nice. Not like the Dampkring Shop on Haarlemstraat...

Yes I really liked this batch of Sensabile - especially when smoking it in contrast with the special cream - Sensabile has more of a body stone with a clearer but not so intense head high. The cream has a spicy rich flavor, like a red wine and the sensabile is more fresh and floral- both delicious! I got 2g because i had seen you and colino recommend it here just before my trip - so thanks! I was glad i did It was nice and sticky but not gooey - like you say a bit like the amazing Habibi - Dampkring often has really great hash. X-mas special in 08 to name another. Hope they keep it up. The tender was nice - showing me the items as he restocked them, I usually get good service there.

Day 2 part 2
Flevo graffiti





























































Part 3 to come....

Nice report and lots of pics

I will have to try the GSC Ice in a few weeks, it looks very good.

Cheers Colino and Pengaldinho!

False alert by the way: It was the thread of coffeeshop Easy Times where I noticed this menu from May stating 15€ for a half of a gram. Due to the price it came to my attention. Last time I tried some moroccan ice-o-lator was in 2009. Coffeeshop Arabica Lounge was it then. I remember there were a lot of it going around(they charged 12€ a gram, other places more than 20€ for a gram so I was surprised. Their version was okay but nothing exceptional, doubt it was the real deal.), unfortunately I only tried it there.
There is no ice-o-lator on the new menu of Easy Times so as my time is limited I won't make the detour to check the menu for it.

Forgot to say I really feel sorry for your mate having a whitie but it makes me curious to try the Nepal Creme from De Graal(as mentioned elsewhere I'm not really into blacks as they usually don't do much for me).

Probably won't make it to Bushdocter either but tried a lot last time.

@Marok21 Indeed, that batch of Habibi from 2010 was incredible ! Already noted Sensabile some time ago, if memory serves my right I even had it already at one point but will of course take a look at the current batch. Thanks.

Day 2 Part 3
Flevo park – after the 25min tram journey we wondered through the park, found a bench to eat and smoke and then on to the hall of fame- there was lots more new graff this time, last time it was partially boarded up. Flevo is really nice in the summer, quieter and nicer than vondel imo.
After taking all the pics we went back to chill on the grass for a spliff then on the tram back towards central.

Bushdoctor – friendly service from the short round Italian lady. Super hash selection! We sat outside for an hour or two.

0.5g King Nepal – the hardest off the hash I had from BD, cant really remember much but it knocked me out.



0.5g Mazzar I Sharif – peppery spicy chocolatey heavy smoke with a strong mental buzz that melted my brain. WOW!



0.5g Bab beared – yummy yum yum bit of marroc – produced the most oil when burnt - lovely piney floral clean taste.




0.5g Melana Cream – super sticky, uppy sativa buzz




1g Lemon Haze Marroc – my mate got this – I have enjoyed it in the past, he loved it.




1g Aslama E25 – the lady said it was and iceo hash made in Morocco. It has a strong minty/eucalyptus smell that comes through when you smoke it. Strong heavy head stone which lasted ages. Gave some nice visuals too.





De Klos – my mate had the ribs, I had the tenderlion , lovely bit of meat loads of flavour – unlike Loetje where the butter does the talking.

Greenhouse Namste – it was my first visit to this branch of GH, its a small version of Tolstraat inside with 6 outdoor tables. sat outside table service.
1g Jack Cream -not as nice as the chem/og creams but still good smoke. Heavy body with active mind.


/

0.5g Mad Kush – why did I buy this? Im stupid, but it was better than the flowerbomb. Still crap.



Got back to Abba at about 10.30 and the room was an inferno - so we went to the 24hr shop for some drinks and headed into Vondel park - it was pitch black apart from the street lights. There were lots of people sitting on benches, smoking, playing instruments, a big game of football. We found a spot and parked up, chilled smoking till 3am then went back. It lovely with the fresh cold air on a hot summer night, it was heaven..

Fantastic report and pics as usual.
Will definitely be paying Bushdoctor a visit soon.
BTW, which Bushdoctor, Amstel or Thorbeckeplein?
I've only been to the Amstel one before, is there much of a difference?

yeah really fantastic report! Especially the pics make my mouth watering

The hashes from Bushdoctor looked awesome! I friend of mine (maroccan guy) had some
hash in the past that he called Babered or something like this... it was a great blonde hash
with an lovely taste! Great hash! I think i will try it on my next trip
The Mazar, King Nepal, Aslama and so on looks superb, too. A shame that the hashes there
are so expansive... I will try them all

@Jesscass same with me with the black hashes... I never had a black hash that effect I really like... Only the Gorka (from Bluebird 2011) and the Pakmar (Bluebird 2008^^) I really really liked! But that was pretty special stuff...

@pengaldinho keep it up great work!!!

Lovely pictures, I have a huge hash craving now. (That Aslama and the Malana cream- Yum!)

Ending the night smoking in the park sounds so lovely.

Thanks

Thanks -I have only been to the Thorbeckeplein one so i cant tell you! It does have outdoor seating which i don't think Amstel does. Enjoy your trip.

Thanks man - I too am often very disappointed in black hash and much prefer Moroccan.
It is a shame they are so overpriced and expensive but at least they sell half grams, I ended up spending E50 on 2.5g of 5 different hashes, which is a price im willing to pay as i cannot get anything near as good at home. Hope they have a nice stock for you on your next trip!

Cheers, the hash was yummy and in the day it was c30/f86 which made it was sooo gooey! The night in the park was the highlight of the trip for me - I wish i could do that at home!

The Amstel is one of the most uncomfortable coffeeshop I've ever been to. the thorbeck one is better imo, can't beat the patio in summer.


@ pengaldinho really superb report mate! which was your favourite bushdoctor hash? I tried bab bered, mex maroc, skunky maroc, maroc lemon haze, maroc cheesolator and the bab bered was by far the most tasty and fresh one!
