Banana Cream Sundae

Hytiva's Review on Banana Cream Sundae

Banana Cream Sundae is an indica-dominant hybrid originally cultivated from Atlas Seed, a breeder with a reputation for careful, technique-driven work rather than flashy releases. According to Atlas site, the genetics of this strain originate from crossing the hybrid strains Banana Cream, Jealousy, and Gelato 41 . It's picked up awards on the competition circuit and landed on a few "best strains" lists in recent years, which is part of why it keeps showing up on menus. The short version: it's a dessert strain with a real reputation behind the notoriety.

Banana Cream Sundae's buds are just appealing to the eye to look at when fully cured and ready for consumption. The buds are dense and coated with a thick layer of golden like trichomes contrasted by an appealing color palette of purple overtones and wispy burnt amber pistils intertwined throughout the structure of the buds. On the nose and on the palate is where this sweet treat earns its name. The first thing you get is ripe banana and creamy vanilla custard, sweet and tropical, with a nutty, earthy back note that keeps it from turning cloying. Smoked, it lands somewhere very close to an actual slice of banana cream pie, sweet up front and a little rich on the finish.

Reviewers who've tried it tend to describe a mood-up, body-down arc: an uplifting head to start that settles into heavy, full-body relaxation, which is why most people prefer consuming Banana Cream Sundae in the evening or couch use rather than a busy morning. Users have said they recommend this strain to wind down, ease tension, or settle in when they've got nowhere to be, though that'll vary with the person. The terpene profile is predominantly led by limonene for the sweet citrus lift, with peppery beta-caryophyllene and floral, calming linalool rounding it toward its mellow, sedative-leaning reputation. The batch we reviewed came back at 25.520% THC, so it's a potent cut and the relaxation it's known for has the numbers to back it up.
