Initial Thoughts
Recently harvested by DC craft cultivator Alt Sol, this phenomenal Triple Burger just dropped at Washington DC medical marijuana dispensary, Green Theory. Known for its potent effects and uniquely savory profile, my mouth started watering immediately from the super loud aroma that emerged when I cracked open the jar. It’s originally a Skunk House Genetics creation, combining the robust GMO with Double Burger to make this indica-dominant (70% indica/30% sativa) offspring. With gorgeous looks – as we’ve come to expect from Alt Sol – it’s tempting to everyone, but truly geared towards those cannabis enthusiasts with a high tolerance.
Appearance
Triple Burger’s buds can be a bit intimidating at first, much like staring down a monstrous three patty burger at your local eatery. Vibrant greens are threaded with purple undertones and fine orange hairs. A thick layer of milky, starry trichomes coats the entire surface, giving the buds a frosted appearance that seems to ooze potency.
Status
Fresh.
Aroma
The aroma of Triple Burger is unapologetically pungent, blending garlic, butter, and diesel into a powerful scent that fills the room. Hints of savory herbs and a mild chemical undertone add complexity, creating an aroma that may remind some of a cooking experience in the kitchen. This strain’s rich aroma profile is largely driven by its dominant terpene, caryophyllene, which is known for its spicy, musky scent and potential anti-inflammatory effects.
Flavor
On inhale, Triple Burger reveals a creamy, almost buttery taste that combines with subtle hints of blue cheese, savory meat, and herbs. These flavors are layered with a slight chemical edge, giving it a distinct umami profile that stands out among traditional cannabis strains. This unique flavor combination can be quite appealing to those who enjoy savory, earthy flavors in their cannabis.
Lineage
Triple Burger’s lineage comes from crossing GMO and Double Burger, two strains known for their pungency and potency. GMO contributes its signature garlic and diesel flavor, while Double Burger lends its savory undertones and robust THC levels. This powerful cross by Skunk House Genetics results in an indica-dominant hybrid that delivers a deeply calming experience coupled with a truly distinctive flavor and aroma profile.
Effects
The effects of Triple Burger unfold slowly, beginning with a gentle calming sensation that gradually spreads throughout the body. Users may feel an uplifting wave that clears away negative thoughts and tension, while the indica characteristics bring about a cozy, relaxing physical experience. The warming, sedative qualities help ease stress, pain, and insomnia, making Triple Burger a suitable option for evening or nighttime use. Some users also report a tingling sensation, enhancing the strain’s soothing physical effects. Due to its high THC level, this strain is favored by those seeking relief from chronic pain, insomnia, stress, and even appetite issues.
Conclusion
Triple Burger by Alt Sol brings a unique blend of savory flavors and powerful indica effects to the table. It’s ideal for those seeking a strong, full-bodied experience that pairs well with a relaxed evening or night. Its garlic, butter, and diesel notes make it distinct, while the relaxing, sedative effects provide a deeply comforting and therapeutic experience for seasoned users.
As a suggestion, you may want to consider grabbing some burgers to eat before (and perhaps after) burning on the “Burgah” – as the Toker’s Guide team are affectionately referring to it. The effects combined with the notion of food in the name mean munchies will be nearly inevitable, so you’ll want to have either a full stomach or food on hand. To feast on some Triple Burger yourself head to Green Theory ASAP and don’t forget to let them know you heard about it on Toker’s Guide!
