Flavor & Aroma

True to its name, Lemon Haze leans heavily into citrus. Limonene drives a sharp lemon-zest nose, while terpinolene and caryophyllene add sweet-herbal and peppery undertones. On the inhale, expect bright citrus candy notes; on the exhale, many report a lingering pine-herbal finish that stays refreshing rather than earthy.
