Ivy Hall Dispensaries recently launched its own brand of cannabis, Ivy Hall Premium flower. I stopped into Ivy Hall Peoria and picked up samples of the new line, starting with Warheadz.

Warheadz is a sativa-leaning hybrid cross of Kaboom and Sour Pez. This batch of flower tested at 0.38% THC, 24.04% THCa, and 24.99% total cannabinoids. The indicated terpenes were β-caryophyllene, β-myrcene, and α-pinene.

A handful of small flowers carried a pale turf-green color at the base with thick fire-orange hairs bunched near the creases. Large royal-purple sugar leaf pieces hugged the outside of several flowers, and a dense trichome frost that had just turned completely milky brought a brightness to the overall appearance. The buds were dense to the touch and left some stickiness on my fingers when broken down.

The aroma from the jar was a lively, naturally tart blend of green apple candies, sweet pickles, hot stainless steel metallic tone, grapefruit, fresh cut cucumber, and honey mustard. The flavor carried the green apple and mustard tones but turned much more earthy on the finish notes of fresh turned dirt and wild mushroom providing the finish. The earthy finish was the longest lasting portion of the flavor profile and clung to the palate post exhale.

Warheadz created a playful, distractible headspace that kept me engaged with the world around me but unable to focus. The physical side released tingling waves of euphoria that seemed to come and go as the experience continued. The tail end of the experience piqued my hunger repeatedly but never became heavy or tiring. The playful daytime buzz was a solid fit for the morning as long as focus wasn’t required, and the tangy aroma profile was distinctive.
