I've never had a heri cross like that. I've done both the KO Kush f4 from Sannie and Anesthesia from Breeder's Choice, and I liked the taste of both quite a bit. KO Kush was very similar to Bubba but with an added dark roast coffee taste, and Anesthesia was a bold, dark, earthy, very old school taste. The KO probably had an overall more pleasing taste, while the anesthesia was stronger in effect (my keeper tested at 25.4% THC). They do not have many/any influences from the lighter tastes, but I certainly wouldn't call them putrid.
I've usually found hay/grass taste to come from less than optimal drying/curing conditions; I suppose it could be possible with exceptionally poor genetics, but I've never actually seen herb that was treated right come out like that, and I've never grown anything that I would describe as hay or grassy, and as a Colorado boy I am pretty familiar with those smells.
You know, other than the snow lotus x sour mix packs that got sent out for freebies for a while, or Instant Karma (bubba x sour d ibl) or Instant Karma crosses. Or the House of Funk cross made with Bodhi's snow lotus male. Or the ECSD x Appy released by Workingman's Dank using the same Appy male that Bodhi used.
The only thing I've ever grown that I found unpalatable was the Corleone Kush from tCC, which I found an oddly bad combination of lemon pledge OG and the classic bubba kushiness. I dunno if I'm the only one, but it just didn't seem like something I wanted to smoke. I always find unflushed weed, soil or hydro, unpalatable; and I can tell in one hit if it was nute pushed until chop or not. And there's such a thing as alcohol free bourbon? That is somehow terrifying, offensive, and absolutely the gag gift I will give my dad for christmas next year.
Snow Queen = Pinequeen (Sonic Seeds) x Snow Lotus I saw someone killing with it on seeddepot when that was a thing, but I don't remember who it was.
I fail to see what hydro/synthetics have to do with your argument? Perhaps you have just had poorly grown hydro product? Here everyone always assumes my herb is soil/organic because of how it tastes (and the way they've been brainwashed into thinking that soil/organics always taste better) but I've been using mostly the same hydro/organics nutrients for 6 years, and know how to grow good tasting plants. I use an extremely comprehensive blend, don't use any of those silly flavor enhancers and instead use my own hydro friendly molasses formulation, and I will always, ALWAYS put my buds up against soil/organics in terms of taste/smell/effect.
Sounds like someone's going to have a busy year.
For all: I tested the strain Elphinstone for Bodhi last year, and it is going to be available soon, starting at holistic nursery. If you like massive yields of citrus chem buds with a happy, laughing, social, sativa high, this is a good strain for that. I found 2/5 female phenotypes that would qualify as exceptionally high yielding. However, all phenotypes stretch for 2-3 weeks after the introduction of 12/12, and will generally bloom for a 10-11 week period. This plant yields as well as the old Sweet Skunk clone I used to have, easily putting out 4+ ounces per plant; on the tables where I achieved these yields I am running two 600s to illuminate 18 plants, and got approx. 13 oz of top shelf flower from three plants, as well as a couple zips of lower branch stuff for extraction.
Someone else prob wouldn't taste the diff. Aren't Bodhi strains grown in organics? Please send me samples and I'll be glad to try 
you da man, RedCarpetMatches !!
