Ginger Glue by Black Sheep Botanicals
All of the above helped me to get a good idea of the flavour of the Ginger glue - I would say vaping is my favourite way to consume, followed by dabbing, followed by smoking.

Genetics and lineage
The recorded lineage includes Gorilla Glue #4 X Jamaican Landrace. Source disagreement should be treated as part of the cultivar's naming history rather than flattened into a false certainty.
Flavour
Reported flavour notes include citrus, herbal, pepper, sour and spicy.
Reported character
Reported effects include body, calmed, uplifted, relaxed and sleepy. Individual experiences vary.
Background
Bred by Black Sheep Botanicals in 2016, Ginger Glue is an indica-dominant hybridized strain, and the results of this cross are very nice.
Appearance
This strain is light-green in appearance, giving full view to those delicious trichomes. The bud I sampled has been trimmed to perfection, looking as good as a Cali import nug.
It came in a tin, but I put it in a glass jar. It felt on the dry side so a Boveda Pack might have kept this sample a bit more sticky.
Good nug formation, nicely developed, and good trichome coverage - all the signs of a well-grown sample!
Aroma
This initially smelt more like Gorilla Glue, with the clean, sharp pungency I expected from the GG strain.
Grinding up the sample unleashes a different aroma. Still pungent, still clean smelling, but on the sweet side.
Taste
I consumed the Ginger Glue in three ways for my review - first, I dabbed the flower Rosin, which was delicious. I then moved on to my bong, smoking a bowl which made me cough due to its size, before following that up with a session on the Mighty Vaporizer.
All of the above helped me to get a good idea of the flavour of the Ginger glue - I would say vaping is my favourite way to consume, followed by dabbing, followed by smoking.
I could taste the GG notes but also something new, the flavour profile the jamaican landrace was apparent during this section, particularly when vaped, with the vapor taking on a herby, firey sort of taste that differs a lot from other strains including Gorilla Glue.
Effects
As well as the consumption I had stated above, I also hit one more bowl during the review. The culmination of all that smoking, dabbing and vaping left me rather high, rather quickly.
I got a nice wave which had initial promises of an uplift but which quickly transitioned into a body-led relaxation and physical nice feeling.
As this is a different terpene and cannabinoid balance to what I was used to, I suspect it hit me harder than strains, genetic lines which I was more familiar with.
Conclusion
Black Sheep Botanicals have done a good job with this strain - the uniqueness of the high and flavour profile make Ginger Glue something different, which in itself is incredibly refreshing when a lot of popular cannabis strains follow similar highs and flavours.
Ginger Glue is not afraid to bring something completely different to the table!
