Initial Thoughts

We were very curious about this PanLato that dropped recently at Curaleaf in Columbia, Maryland. It’s a delectable dessert-like hybrid that brings a blend of effects from both sativa and indica qualities. A cross of Gelato with another unknown strain (speculated to be Pan Dulce), this strain is well-suited for those seeking a balanced high that engages mind, body, and palate simultaneously.

Appearance

The buds of PanLato display a vibrant spectrum of green, often interlaced with amber pistils and a layer of glistening trichomes. The dense, well-formed nugs have a sticky quality, hinting at the high resin content and terpene richness typical of its Gelato lineage.

Status

Curing.

Aroma

PanLato has a captivating aroma profile featuring sweet, earthy undertones that balance hints of citrus and pine. The aromatic layers come from its diverse terpene profile, with noticeable influences from beta-caryophyllene and limonene, creating a pleasant mix of spiciness and citrus zest.

Flavor

The flavor of PanLato is smooth and sweet, with earthy and slightly piney undertones that blend with hints of herbal and fruity notes. This strain delivers a gentle taste on the inhale, transitioning to a mild sweetness on the exhale with a touch of spice, likely attributed to the presence of beta-caryophyllene and humulene.

Lineage

PanLato descends from the popular Gelato strain, known for its balance and calming effects. While the exact other parent remains unknown, it is speculated to be Pan Dulce, which would contribute to PanLato’s smooth and sweet qualities. This combination of genetics provides PanLato with a broad range of effects and a rich terpene profile.

Effects

PanLato’s effects are both uplifting and calming, beginning with a gentle cerebral euphoria that instills happiness and creativity. As the high progresses, a more relaxed and physically calming sensation takes over, promoting calm and ease without overpowering sedation. Users often report feelings of contentment, focus, and even a mild surge of energy before a gradual relaxation.

Conclusion

This batch of PanLato provides a versatile experience suitable for both creative and relaxing settings. With a balanced flavor profile and uplifting yet calming effects, it’s a moderate hybrid experience that doesn’t overwhelm.
