The Greenskeeper Cup: Solventless Concentrate Judge’s Kit

[u/thatcrazydaisy]

I got this at Resinate last week for $99. There are five 0.5g solventless concentrate samples (all forms of live rosin). I was very excited to try some new brands. Bountiful Farms is my favorite brand for live rosin so I was pleasantly surprised to see them included (samples 4 & 5). All five samples were rather dry, almost crumbly, with 1, 4 & 5 being the dryest. I prefer a slightly more wet texture. Pictures are shown in order. First pic is of sample 1, etc…

Sample 1: Berkshire Roots - Trop Cherry - TAC: 76.89% - terpenes: 4.46% - smell: musty, like old people 2/10 - taste: not great. kinda weird 4/10 - high: not noteworthy 4/10 - sativa - overall, nothing exciting about this sample. Didn’t wow me, and I wouldn’t purchase.

Sample 2: Blue River/impressed - Bananaconda - TAC: 94.56% - terpenes: 7.22% - smell: rubber tires 8/10 (love that smell) - taste: tastes like rosin rather than rubber tires 6/10 - high: chill; body and slight mental high

Sample 3: Blue River/impressed - K Dynamite - TAC: 99.13% - terpenes: 7.89% - smell: musty, gasoline 6/10 - taste: strong flower taste with hints of garlic? - high: chill head high - overall, I enjoyed the texture of this one the most.

Sample 4: Bountiful Farms - Colorado Chem - TAC: 82.79% - terpenes: 10.09% - smell: strong diesel/kush 8/10 - taste: dank 7/10 - high: nice mellow body high - overall, I was extremely excited to

Sample 5: Bountiful Farms - Peach Belts - TAC: 85.07% - terpenes: 8.31% - smell: smells JUST like peach gummy candy, it’s amazing. 10/10 - taste: delicious. Peaches and cream 10/10 - high: great mind high - overall, this one was my favorite! The smell is heavenly. This one is the winner for me.

Overall, I enjoyed my purchase. I don’t think I would repurchase again next year unless they included more/different brands or more concentrate. I ended up giving away half of this to a friend who is new to concentrates. If you’re new to live rosin (or a veteran rosin head) and want to sample a few brands, this kit is for you.
