Pineapple Cheesecake by Arcanna Flowers

92 Points

This Pineapple Cheesecake is my second sample from Arcanna Flowers. With incredibly outstanding intensity and complexity of aroma and flavor, this is one not to be missed!

When I pop the dark purple glass jar, I am met with aromas at the upper end of outstanding in both intensity and complexity. This is a very nuanced sample with notes that hit in almost every direction. Some of them are hard to fully identify in the spices and floral layers, but the mixture of sweet fruit and pungency combine to deliver outstanding and almost superior complexity.

The sweet and fruity layer is mostly composed of the namesake pineapple, with some stone fruit and a dash of citrus zest. There there is a creamy layer, like sour cream, and synthetic aroma, like a brown magic marker, some earthy spices and finally, a floral dusting of lilac.

This uncommon mixture of aromas is a real treat to experience and got me really excited as I started to break up the moderately sticky and very dense nugs. These tightly structured buds with outstanding trim take a little more attention to detail pulling apart, but break up very nicely with good tackiness for rolling and lots of trichomes on my fingers.

The flower stacks very nicely into a joint....and I take a dry hit, which really does have flavors of pineapple cheesecake! Lighting up highlights the complexity of this flower right away. There are a surprising amount of floral layers on the front end with lavender, lilac and some herbal green tea notes. The fruit and sweetness falls back to second. You can taste it on your lips like a peach lollipop. Finally, there is a bit of pungent cheese. Overall, it's somewhat like a very floral peach snapple green tea. The layers and nuances of flavor are also super smooth, full-bodied and a real pleasure to smoke.

My experience with Arcanna's Pineapple Cheesecake was outstanding as well. A very rapid high came on about halfway through the joint. I could feel it in my head behind my eyes and quickly spread throughout my body. The high gave me a very heightened sense of awareness and some sound sensitivity which was great for listening to music!

This was really a wonderful cultivar to smoke and experience, especially all the nuanced layers of aroma and flavor!
