Carmel – Golden Crisp Review
Can’t get enough of that golden crisp! If that sounds familiar but weird at the same time, it’s because in Canada, it was called Sugar Crisp. Some breakfast trivia for you as we delve into our offering today, brought to us by the amazing folks at Carmel. Situated in Oro-Medonte, they truly are our neighbors to the north, and they always have something special cooking up there. They are among the few who truly define craft cannabis in Ontario.
What makes it special?
Marketed under the Rares label in Ontario, this is a special collaboration between Carmel and Northern Canna. And what makes it so special, you ask? Well, one of the masterminds behind Carmel, Drew, is working with his long-time collaborator Genetic Mike (known for his Platinum Punch Remix) again for this lovely grow. From breeder Elev8 Genetics and grown by Mike at Northern Canna, it’s a cross between GMO x Cereal Milk, and it’s not called Rares for no reason.
Aromatic and Visual Profile:
With bright green, tight buds with tons of trichomes, and medium to large buds in the bags, this is a winner all the way through. To be honest, though, you can expect nothing less from Carmel. With Limonene, Myrcene, and Farnesene as the dominant terpenes, this bud offers your nose notes of sour and gas with hints of sweetness. It truly is a treat for all your senses. When breaking it up, it comes out nice and fluffy and rolls smoothly with beautiful white ash.
Effects:
For me, Golden Crisp is a nice, bright head high that brings feelings of euphoria to the forefront of the experience. If you’ve got something to do, this is one strain that does not couch-lock you. Instead, it really gets your creativity flowing while maintaining a nice buzz throughout.
How much does it cost?
When the bag says Carmel and Rares, you know it’s a special experience, but special experiences do not come cheap. Costing $49.30 at Jane’s, it certainly is on the higher end of the price spectrum. But, as I mentioned earlier, that Carmel logo is a badge of quality, and the experience will be limited because once this drop is gone, it’s gone for good. So how about that for FOMO? As of this writing, Rares is already rotating to Genetic Mike’s Platinum Punch Remix. So, if you feel like you need to try that Golden Crisp goodness, I would say grab it while it lasts. Cheers to Carmel, Elev8 Genetics, and Northern Canna for giving us this potentially once-in-a-lifetime experience (who knows if they’ll revisit it in the future, fingers crossed), and cheers to you for once again reading one of our reviews.
