The strain's complex terpene profile, identified through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry testing, includes key compounds such as myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene that create its distinctive bouquet. The flavor profile truly captures the essence of its name, offering a classic taste exactly like the popular sweet treat with a light herbal touch, while the aroma is very earthy with lemony pine overtones accented by a notable hint of pungent root beer.
