The strain exhibits medium-sized nuggets that are deep forest green with minty green undertones, featuring an abundance of burnt orange hairs and a generous coating of bright white trichomes, giving the buds a frosty, sparkly appearance. The strain's aromatic profile is characterized by a dominant diesel fragrance complemented by earthy, pine, and citrus notes, with a smooth but powerful taste featuring damp earth, tart citrus, and sour diesel flavors.
