Background
Banana MAC, bred by Anesia Seeds, is a cross of Banana Kush X MAC (Miracle Alien Cookies).
Appearance
Banana MAC buds are indica in appearance, with heavy-set vibrant nugs featuring green and copper hues.
The buds were presented well, hand-trimmed, with trichomes glistening as I inspected the sample. It reminded me of the colours of the MAC, but with more of the Kush bud structure.
Aroma
This strain gives off hints of earthy, organic notes, kush (Master Kush, specifically) with ripe fruit (banana) and even some meaty (beef) notes giving it a weird but intriguing smell.
Underneath that is a familiar, friendly dankness that intensifies as the bud is broken apart and ground up.
Taste
The Banana MAC didn't present a lot of flavours when smoked through my bong, but the vaporiser gave me various flavour notes expected from the smell - kush, fruit and beef.
Effects
The Banana MAC effects hit like a freight train - creeping along at 10mph.
It felt strong a few minutes after smoking and vaping, but after 10 minutes, I felt relatively normal. Then, over the next 20 mins or so I got increasingly high in both body and mind.
Conclusion
Banana MAC is an interesting strain, for sure. Whilst the flavour of this one was not up there with some of the ZkittleZ crosses I had been sampling recently, it looked good, and the high was one of my favourites with creeping, heavy-hitting power and kush-familiar effects.
Banana MAC is certainly a strain I hope to see more of in the future.
