Initial Thoughts
Take a look at this Italian Ice from DC Art Gallery and i-71 storefront dispensary, MASC. I remember being a kid and getting so excited when the Ice Cream Truck came down the street because it meant we could get some Italian Ice from them. It was a summertime classic with seemingly endless flavors. Now, as an adult during the summer, i’m stoked that I can enjoy a similarly flavorful experience in the designer cannabis flower form of Italian Ice, and still feel the same nostalgia.
Appearance
These vibrant green Italian Ice buds feature a frosty coating of trichomes that glisten under the light.
Status
Beginning to cure.
Aroma
Slightly Gassy. Slightly Citrusy. It’s inviting and tempting.
Flavor
The first inhale reveals a smooth and creamy taste with notes of vanilla and sugary sweetness. This initial wave of flavor is followed by a subtle citrus zest that completely coats your mouth.
Lineage
The Italian Ice strain is a cross of Gelato 45 and Forbidden Fruit that runs 60/40 indica dominant.
Effects
Italian Ice offers a well-balanced and slow releasing high. Its hybrid nature provided a combination of uplifting cerebral effects and soothing body relaxation, making it extremely versatile. The initial onset is characterized by an energizing buzz that uplifted my mood and enhanced sociability. As the long lasting high progressed, a soothing wave of relaxation further elevated my happy mood.
Conclusion
I’ve been spoiled recently by sweet and savory summertime strains, and this Italian Ice is no exception. Just like its dessert counterpart, Italian Ice is a versatile choice that satisfies your senses and leaves you craving more. To get some for yourself be sure to stop into MASC and when you do don’t forget to mention that Toker’s Guide sent you!
