Background
I was excited to try Tahoe OG after finding it in lists of top indica strains and also reading about its heavy sedative effects.
Appearance
This bud has high trichome coverage - the buds are a light-green colour with a dusty look.
The pistils are a light brown/rusty colour. It doesn't have a commercial-level trim job but the bits of leaves that remain are covered in trichomes.
The sample buds are quite small but as long as they smoke well, I don't care!
Aroma
A strong, almost cheese-like pungency hits me when I first smell this strain.
Interestingly, not too similar to the OG Kush I had tried before, this one definitely doesn't have a classic OG Kush scent.
Taste
I enjoy the taste of this - it comes through my bong nicely. The smoke hits with a slight acridity.
Overall, I was getting a good flavour from the Tahoe OG.
Effects
The first thing to hit me after consuming Tahoe OG through my bong is an indica-high that slows down my thoughts and delivers a strong washing relaxation.
The high also carries a nice uplift, but I'd stick to consuming this one in the evening.
Conclusion
Overall this is a good strain and I enjoyed consuming it for the review. I would have liked to have seen bigger buds, but it smokes well and the high feels like it is in excess of 20% THC.
Would love to smoke more phenotypes of this as it was something I hadn't tried before!
