Initial Thoughts

Looking back on the notes from my last encounter with Matanuska Thunderf*ck I described the overall experience as being"like a yeti on Mountain Dew." Of course, this whole trip down memory lane was spawned when I saw it on the menu over at Story Dispensary in Mechanicsville, MD. It had been a while, but the description was enticing given my current affinity for both Afghani and landrace sativas. This and wonder of wether I could recreate the experience from before made me come to the decision that I had no choice but to pick some up.

Back at my house, I ripped open the bag and it was like unleashing a gust of Alaskan wilderness into my living room. As a DMV cannabis critic with a knack for sniffing out singular strains, I was simply thunderstruck. The Story staff’s warm smiles and savvy tips had made the pickup a pure joy, but now, holding the jar in my hands, the small, bright green, densely packed buds shimmered under the lamp. Their phenomenal aroma - sharp pine, fiery spice, and a bold anise-citrus haze - hit me like a mountain storm, electric and untamed.

Appearance

These compact buds, are a force: vivid green, tight as granite, and cloaked in a trichome sheen that glints like frost on a pine bough. Orange pistils streak through like embers, lending an emphatic vibrancy to their small but mighty frame. They’re not showboats, just quietly commanding, with a density that promises quality in every pinch.

Aroma

The scent is a primal roar: sharp pine surges first, crisp and resinous, followed by a spicy kick that tingles like cracked pepper in a storm. Anise and citrus - lemony Haze vibes - weave through, bold and funky, with an earthy backbone grounding the significant terpene content. It’s a thunder-ously arresting aroma, raw enough to rattle your senses yet layered enough to keep you nosing the jar like it’s hiding secrets.

Flavor

The inhale is a rugged symphony: piney sharpness leads, bold and crisp, with spicy notes snapping like kindling. Anise and citrus Haze follow, tangy and electric, while a faint earthy hum tempers the finish, likely linalool and caryophyllene smoothing the edges. Fade Co.’s finesse crafts a thunder-rific flavor that’s intense yet balanced, lingering like a tale told by a campfire.

Lineage

Fade Co.’s take channels its heritage - piney, spicy, and high-octane - with a Haze-like citrus lift that electrifies. It’s a genetic spark, built to ignite any session.

Effects
