Crack the jar and you get layers — sweet blueberry-floral up front from the Blueberry lineage, warm spice (cinnamon and clove from caryophyllene), bright citrus-lime brightness from limonene, and a soft lavender-hops finish from linalool and humulene. The result is full-bodied and unmistakably indica-flavored, but more aromatic and complex than typical purple-leaning strains.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn combustion, the flavor mirrors the nose: sweet berry leading, spice and citrus in the mid-palate, smooth floral exhale.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003ch2\u003eEffects and Usage\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eNeptune's Taint delivers a deep, body-centered relaxation that doesn't pin users to the couch.
