A quest for Amsterdam's diamonds - 20-23 Feb11 Smoke Report
Posted: Thu 3rd Mar 2011 08:39 pm
Firstly I uploaded all the pics when high and forgot to resize. Sorry! So i made the text a bit bigger so people on small screens view at 75% and still read it. Back on topic - trip 11 for me. 5 and 6 for my mates. 3 nights for 2 of us and the other one 2. As the title says on a quest to hunt down and smoke the good stuff. Been busy with work and watching football since I got back. I would like to write more but haven’t got round to it.prices may be bit off. Here's the start:
Day 1:
Flew over on easyjet and walked out of the station at about 11. Straight to GP.
Greenplace:
1g OG Kush E14 – HUGE let down. It was nothing on the batch in Feb and just before coming out I'd sampled a bit from a mate who quick dry/cured and it shat all over this. This was old and off smelling. 3/10
1g Lemon OG E14 – pungent sweet smell in the tub. Nice complex taste but a short lived high.6.5/10
1g Purple Kush E14 – dashes of purple across the buds, light purple/floral/musk smell and taste. Harsh smoke, sleepy high – no where near what it could be. 6/10.
1g LA Cheese – Meaty cheesey smell, transferred to taste very well. Scrumcious! 8/10
1g Green Crack E13 – Super harsh on the throat and crazy nose burn. It was strong though. I didn’t like but only had a few tokes. 5/10
1g Amnesia Gold E12 – Standard dam Amnesia cutting, didn’t notice the blueberry. 7/10
others: only one haze on the menu – blueberry haze. Candy kush was end of batch. I don’t really like the back room as much any more, its too dark and you get sleepy, I prefer the window seat. They need to get more consistent with their batches, especially as the majority of strains are E13+.
Dampkring 2:
1g Malika E15 - dark outer layer and glistening gold inside, bubbles at a tiny lick of a lighter. It looked amazing but the smoke wasn't as good as other Riffmans I've sampled before. (exactly the same thing happened in sept- https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/viewt ... 10&t=14832 ) Taste was strong and heavy hashy but nothing unique. 7.5/10
1g Aisha E11 – light hard pollen. That about says it all. 6/10
.5g Shoreline E7 – Menu described as 'smell:purple haze & diesel. Taste:Grapefruits.' It was fruity and floral with a subdued background flavour of mellow citrus. Wish I got more now. 8.5/10
.5g SSH E6 – nice sandalwoody and hazy. Nice pick up high after smoking indicas at GP. 8/10 at the time. Bij's sample turns it into a 7.
.5g Amnesia G13 E6 – hashy smell. Slightly generic skunk tone in there, light amnesia taste comes through. 5/10
1g Pot of Gold E11 – Parmesan/herb smell, nice stone, light herby almost rosemary taste. 7/10
Others; opposite menu to green place- lots of haze on menu – NLxHaze, Mexican, Neville's etc.
Burger Bar for Kobe. YUM YUM YUM.
Back to hotel Abba to check in and chill for a bit.
Voyagers
1g King Kong E14 - Strong. Didn’t like flav which was very different to the nice smell in tub. But it got me HIGH.6/10
1g Purple Strawberry Bliss E13.50 – smelt like sweet berry/coconut sweets or tasty puff. Ash was fairly black and the flav struggled to come through. Disappointing. 4/10
1g ECSD E13 . Poor. No diesel taste what so ever, just weird perfumey flavour. We gave it two a lonely soul in the Buddah room at Kashmir Lounge who was looking on longingly as we chonged through our stash. 4/10
1g Ultra Lemon Bio Haze E12 – smells amazing but the taste doesn’t fully manifest to smoke. 6.5/10
Others: Ppxbb – generic smell, agree about the living room comment. Nice touch with the glass jars. Will be back to try the menu again.
Suzies Saloon – horrible watered down flat happy hour pint and some king kong to watch 2nd half of Arsenal v Orient.
Rembranplien
Barneys Lounge
1g Dr Grinspoon E17 – Light floral honey taste, not as buttery and concentrated as before. Nice instant light uppy high. Its like an all natural organic amnesia haze. Too expensive but nice. 7.5/10
.5g Tangerine Dream E7 – to me it was a nice sample of amnesia haze. Yummy. 7.5/10
Hot chocolate
others: Neville's A5 haze smelt like generic commercial santa maria.
Back to the hotel for smokes, south park and sleep.
