Bud Flavor - Does it exist?

Guinness and Leffe Blond taste nothing alike, just like Paulaner Hefeweizen tastes nothing like Stone Arrogant bastard. Different styles, different flavors. To me, I don't get the night and day difference between different strains like I would styles of beer.

Right but with the beers listed, you're comparing apples to oranges. Now if you were to say Widmir Hefeweizen and Blue moon taste similar but have a bit of variation because of the very minor differences in their process and ingredients then you'd be on the right track. They're both low hops, wheat, and have a few minor ingredients. Blue moon having a bit more bitter taste with the orange peel adding during fermentation. That is if you want to get as close as you can to comparing cannibis to beer.

Cannibis is Cannibis with some minor differences in the genome and phenome. Various nutrients probably play a bit into it as well but for the most part all MJ has the same taste with touches or hints of something else.

I hope this makes sense.

Take care,

EDIT: Whoops! I didn't read the last post of the thread but yes, B2GROW is right where I'm at with the taste difference. Cheers!

Personally, I have no problem deciphering between Widmir and Blue moon and really don't think they taste alike . But I don't enjoy either of those beers and only brought up booze in response to someone saying it all has the same taste. My only point is that I don't feel herb varies that much in taste and some people have agreed, some didn't. Maybe I just need to seek out a more flavorful strain the next time I'm in Amsterdam.

I like to buy diffrent strains at once and the first blunt is split in section. my last one 1/4 lemon g, shiskaberry/kish, afgani mango, and sour diesel; and as you smoke you can tell the difference in taste as u burn thru each that my suggestion on if you wanna experiment in diffrent taste

To be honest I wondered the same thing but I just grab a few grams of lemon diesel from the dispensary. I could tell this was cured well smelt just like fresh lemons tasted just like it to on the exhale I was really suprized lol.

I have not smoked anyone else's weed in two years. I can tell you the strains I grow, I can notice a difference. My Ice leaves a pepper-ry taste in the back of my throat after smoking. My White Widow packs a heavier, "full" hit that is not harsh, but strong; no real "taste" per se.. My Crystal is the perfect strain for joints and casual smoking. Smooth and deceptively "cool" believe it or not.
My Mystic and Rasberry Cough are not cured yet. I smoked some of both recently. The mystic goes down nice and I don't "feel" anything exhaling, just a smooth, cool smoke. The Rasberry (albeit there HAS to be some pysch to it) filled my grow room with the smell of berries; my wife loved it. We smoked some and I shit you not, there was a berry-ish taste in the back of our mouths when exhaling. Blew us away.
I am almost done jarring up this season's grow. Attached is what I have complete so far. One Jar WW, many of Ice and Crystal, one jar of Mystic and one jar of Rasberry.
I think I am going to try and squeeze a couple more plants in this year; I'm on the hunt for a strain that grows well in cooler temps (hoping to find that wild purple shit)..
Any help would be appreciated in that selection.

Wow, I never thought of doing that....fucking awesome idea bro! Can't wait for all my new shit to cure now! +rep

most common weed does taste and smell fairly similar, but i can always taste a difference, then once you start getting into the good weed then the taste becomes amazing, i have smoked weed that tastes so fruity its like i just ate a bunch of berries

Did not read the whole post, but the blueberry @ 420 cafe in A'Dam taste like nothing else I've ever smoked. It taste like your chewing fresh blueberries while toking the J- hope this helps ha im stoned off some shitty earthy tasting black berry kush

good looking nugs...

or simply a bad tasting pheno? not everything turns out the same mate

its like comparing a golden delicous apple to a plain ole red apple.... taste comes from the strain.

Just like you can taste over fert dry buds im sure ive tasted good flavor herb. Id say everyone has a different criteria to what good cannabis is whether that be flavor, texture, taste or smell. After smoking it in bong, vaporizing it and or extracting it using butane I can say flavor properties are brought out when I burn dry plant to certain temp like vaporizing it or smoking wax. This is my experience. Bottom line I'd be more interested for the types of medications it produce like sleeping or doing social activities. Flavor is always good! B)

Do you genuinely think different strains have the flavors they're advertised as having? Flavors like sour, or berry, cotton candy, or sweet? I'm a certified beer judge and judge in homebrew competitions. I was also raised on fine wine and developed a palate for wine at an age when most were drinking it out of a box. My palate is a lot sharper than most, yet regardless of the smoke, it all sort of tastes the same; earthy, spicy and smooth. And this isn't just my stuff, I've been to Amsterdam and know other growers with equal amounts of experience. I've also traveled down the path of organic, hydro, and dirt. There may be subtle nuances that change from strain to strain but it all just sort of tastes the same to me.

Your thoughts, and be honest.

Thank you! I have always wondered this myself. It always seems to smell pretty much the same and taste almost exactly the same every time to me regardless of strain. I have never once tasted lemon or cotton candy. The biggest difference to me seems to be the aroma, but even that is fairly similar. I may get a hint of chocolate or fresh mowed grass, etc. but I have never smelled fuel or lavender.

same

unless i can get some some proper super lemon haze .. then it actually tastes as the name sounds its by far my favourite strain

hmmm. i think alot of weed tastes the same, or pretty close anyways. especialy if my bong is dirty. every once in a while tho i taste a strain that tastes alot different like lemmons, or pine. other day i tasted what my friend said was lavender kush and it tasted almost exactly like cardomom.

Flavor? Yes I taste all different type flavors when I grow it myself... Now if your talking about what you buy on the street, that seems to all taste a like, with no interesting or distinct type taste.

My all time best tasting weed? That would be Fantasia a creation of mine, that died in a break in to my grow about 15 years ago. Fantasia, had the flavor of: the little girl that turned into a blueberry in Willie Wonka. As she said "it's amazing you can actually taste blueberry pie oozing down your throat". That's what Fantasia tasted like, the sweetest blueberry pie oozing down your throat. Fantasia was composed, of: (Wonderbud X Columbian Indica X Jack Herer)

If you call a strain "Rasberry Kush" and give it to someone, telling them to "note the rasberry after tones" They're going to say "Yeaaaah. I totally taste the rasberry"

If you didn't tell them what they should be tasting, wether by suggesting it with the name or description, then they would say "Yeeeah. This tastes like good weed"
