Strain: Hash Burger

Dispensary: Greenways Dispensary

Market: Washington DC

Overall Rating: 9.2/10

Lean: Hybrid

Initial Thoughts

Hash Burger is one of the most celebrated strains in the country right now - Leafly handed it a strain-of-the-year crown - and Alt Sol growing it locally means DC gets the famous funk without the import markup. We picked ours up at Greenways, and the hype survives contact.

Appearance

Dense, greasy-looking nugs in olive and bruise-purple with rust pistils and a heavy, oily frost. It looks savory, which is not a word we get to use often.

Status

Cured out and heavy in the hand. This batch tests at 26.8%.

Aroma

Savory funk - garlic, char, something almost beef-tallow rich - over a hashy, spiced sweetness. It's the rare jar that smells like dinner instead of dessert, and it's magnetic.

Flavor

Umami-forward with a peppery hash finish and just enough sweetness to round the edges. One of the most distinctive smokes on any DC shelf right now.

Lineage

Skunk House Genetics built this one from the Burger dynasty:

• Han Solo Burger - the funk flagship.

• Double Burger - a GMO x Donny Burger stack, doubling down on savory.

Award pedigree, and the jar smells exactly like its paperwork.

Effects

Indica-leaning and substantial - a slow, full-body unwinding with a contented, foggy-at-the-edges head. Evening flower; pair with a couch and zero obligations.

Conclusion

Hash Burger is the strain of the moment, and Alt Sol's local run holds its own against the national reputation. Greenways has the jar - come hungry.
